Python 3.x is currently not supported.

Well, right. We don't support Python 3 yet as Mercurial requires Python 2.

(also, there is no working dulwich version with python 3 support yet ... but that is not the bottleneck)

Do you have any plans to support Python3 in the future? The Python 2 EOL is very soon, only in 2.5 years.
Most libraries are already migrated and you can maintain a compatible syntax

dulwich 0.18.7 supports Python3

And yet another wrapper around Mercurial to continue development forward even if Mercurial itself will stay in the past

Kallithea will move to Python3 when it supports Mercurial. The referenced wrapper / API will not work for Kallithea's use.
I don't think it is worth the effort to try to support 2 and 3 at once - we don't have enough development resources for that ... and it will not add much value to users or admins.
If you want to help, then please help migrating Mercurial. They are fighting some very hard problems with essential functionality missing from Python 3.
