I was just looking into this recently. Turns out, Django doesn't currently support Python 3: Django FAQ. Python 3 is also not backwards compatible with Python 2.x, which is what OSQA was written in. While I can't speak to where OSQA would fail if run under a Python 3 interpreter, I would highly recommend using Python 2.6 or later (I have successfully installed it a few times with Python 2.6.6).

OSQA is written in Python with Django, but not specifically Python 3.0. We have run it with Python versions as old as 2.4, but we prefer to use 2.6.
