My vote is for the opposite.  I expect many mail servers that run
pyzor will be production machines, not necessarily running the
latest python or linux distribution.

It's probably worth looking into what the plans are for GNU Mailman
(w.r.t. supported python versions) as it is reasonably likely that both
packages would be desired on mail servers.  Requiring Python 3
for a current version of Pyzor in advance of critical mass for
python 3 could be an unnecessary burden on admins.  The result
could possibly be less sites running pyzor.
