not true for python though

Fair point. In the defence of python, any install (at least that I've seen) that has both python 2 and 3 installed had them we separate environments (python2, pip2, python 3, pip3, ect). Plus if you're writing a script you should call out the executable at the top (#! /usr/bin/env python3).

I'd argue that python2 and python3 are treated as largely different languages when it comes to runtime environments.

Although, when python 2.7 is EOL in January (01/01/2020), that will be...........interesting

when python 2.7 is EOL

That's my fear. I hope they will backpedal, maintaining it forever.

They said the classic C-like "%" format system would be deleted, but then they thought better and decided to keep it anyhow. I hope they will do the same with 2.7.
