I created a change and submitted it to change wrangler: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Python_3_Migration_Improvements I asked Jarda Reznik to process it ASAP, so it should be ready soon. > > As I noted above, DevAssistant devels have been using python3-dnf for > > quite some time now without any issues.

I'm not saying we shouldn't. AFAIK dnf can be safely switched back and forth, so the best way (IMO) would be to switch it ASAP to py3 and see what it breaks. We can always switch it back before Beta or so. I think that enough people will test it before then.
