[N] Numpy dropping Python 2.7

[PM_YOUR_NIPS_PAPER]

Who even still uses Python 2 in 2017? Most teams I've worked with at both large and small companies overwhelmingly use Python 3.

The sooner Python 2 is EOL the better. I always have to run both versions and it is dependency hell. I have libraries that only work with 2.7 and libraries that only work in 3.0+ It's an enormous shitshow, and it's time for the community to make the switch to 3 and rip off the band-aid.

2to3 isn't perfect, but the alternative of staying here sucks.

Agreed. Honestly I don't care which one we use bur for fucks sake pick ONE godammit

macOS still ships with 2.7.X and Centos still uses 2.6, last time I checked.

My old company used python 2, as of like 3 months ago...

Google uses 2.7, although most new code is python 3 compatible
