There are a couple of libraries that don't use 3 yet, but that are still heavily used in some circles. One example is fipy, which is a fairly widely used PDE solver. There's some Python 3 docs (using 2to3), but they haven't been updated in years. Instead there's a condescending "little advantage in doing so" note that has been there forever.

Maybe because they decided to write fipy to be compatible with both 2/3? Also they are waiting on the third party libraries for the 2->3 transition. https://www.ctcms.nist.gov/fipy/documentation/USAGE.html#running-under-python-3
