Awesome!

https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Python3#Dependencies appears to be fairly
out of date. For example hacking works under python34 as does oslo
messaging as per this email etc.

Also what is the status of all the dependencies in
https://github.com/openstack/nova/blob/master/requirements.txt and more
generally
https://github.com/openstack/requirements/blob/master/global-requirements.txt

It would be nice to get a better sense of what the remaining libraries to
port over are before the summit so we can start planning how to do the
python34 migration.
