I suspect it will be sooner than that, especially if users like you 
ask/beg/plead with the maintainers of libraries like those you listed to 
make them work with 3.2. Give your particular reason, that Python3 will

such people have posted that they see no reason to upgrade until users 
start requesting them to.
