When I last looked (which was some time ago), formencode still didn't
have a python 3 compatible release, but that appeared to be the only
one still missing.

Several of the less commonly used database backends don't have python
3 versions as far as I know. sqlite and postgresql should both be
fine, though. MySQL's status is a bit murky since the original MySQLdb
hasn't been ported to python 3 yet but there are a number of forks of
it claim to support python 3, so it's presumably doable.

There's certainly interest in seeing sqlobject ported to python 3, and
I would be willing to help as time allows.
