Youcompleteme: Python3 support roadmap?
Currently on fedora 22 with the latest version of vim. Looks like python 2 is completely deprecated in vim. Is there any chance the plugin will be re-written in python3 at some point?

Completely rewritten in python3? Possibly at some point. There are currently no plans to do so since almost all distros ship Vim with python2 support (and usually _only_ python2 support). As such, closing issue.
Note that there's a stark difference between YCM & ycmd _running_ in a python3 interpreter and supporting python3 completion. The latter is planned, the former isn't.

Would there be any appetite to conform to this? https://docs.python.org/3/howto/pyporting.html
Wondering if it would be something I could do to learn more about python :smile:

It may worth mentioning that the new Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is also dropping python2 support:
vim is built with -python +python3 by default.
And the readme page still reads "Make sure you have Vim 7.3.598 with python2 support. Ubuntu 14.04 and later have a Vim that's recent enough." Please change it to indicate ubuntu user may need to recompile their vim.

@pkuqiuning Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I'll need to think about it for a bit and consider options.
