I based this on the wiki, but maybe I am wrong.

remaining libraries for nova:
oslo.db -- looks like it is almost there
oslo.messaging  -- same
paste -- almost there
sqlalchemy-migrate -- almost there
suds -- with the suds fork shouldn't be too hard
websockify -- unknown
libvirt-python -- unknown
mysql-python  -- alternitive looks viable.

Based on there being two unknowns, and a lot of dependencies that are just
almost there, and a few we may want to migrate off of, I was assuming
addressing those issues would make it hard for us to make nova python3
compatible for Liberty.
