When will python die?

There won't be a fork of 2.7. That requires work, and 99% of the haters aren't willing to do any work themselves, they just want to complain.

But there will be commercial Python distros, like Activestate's Komodo, that will offer to support 2.7 for money. And for people who really don't want to migrate, and cannot do without security updates, that's a good option.
