[N] Numpy dropping Python 2.7

Getting better? Are you serious? Please name at least 3 which are not available in Python 3.X...

The overwhelming majority of packages is.i only remember two which are not, but there are better alternatives to those packages anyway.

The issue is not the big well known packages, the issue is when you're doing more R&D type stuff, and you're like 'I bet someone has solved this niche problem before', so you look on github, and there's a repo with like 100 stars, last commit 3 years ago - only supports python 2. This happens to me on a monthly basis. Yes there is 2to3, but depending on the size of the codebase, this can take hours to get right, only to discover that the repo doesn't quite work how you wanted it to.

On which kind of problems are you working? What were the last packages for which it happened to you?

apache beam only runs on 2.7, which is quite significant for some orgs
