I believe you are incorrect on this assertion unless I'm just confused 
about what you are saying.  In fact, SQLAlchemy does what Greg is 
setting out and I can only assume it is successful (I haven't personally 
used it on python 3, but SQLAlchemy is so good on python 2 that I'm sure 
the python 3 support is not rubbish).  See the 2to3 bits of 
https://bitbucket.org/sqlalchemy/sqlalchemy/src/setup.py
