    Dont expect somebody to do it though.
    Maybe its in demand for all us guys here, but other then that it isn't really in demand enough for a programmer to say yes i'll do it.

    Not completely rewritten. There are tools (http://docs.python.org/library/2to3.html) that'll do most of the work in converting a Python 2 module to Python 3; some manual effort is still involved, but it's far from a complete rewrite.

    from my experience python is quite slow when working with files, compared to let's say powershell, but maybe this is a different use (i was computing hashes)

    Yes the blender plugin is outdated, as newer Blender versions use a completely different API and plugin structure. But I'm currently working on a different approach which works a lot faster.
    It doesn't make sense just to port the old version, as the python code is just too slow.

    So your starting a blender renderer from scratch?
    I say good luck, it's going to be tough, there are much more reasons why this hasn't been created. It's extremely difficult.
