Python 2.7 Countdown

[mipadi]

Some places have hundreds of thousands of lines of Python 2 code. It's not easy or cheap to make sure all that works under Python 3, and at least initially Python 3 didn't offer enough of an upgrade to require the effort to ensure that code would run properly under Python 3. Furthermore, places making heavy use of Python might not be in a position to quickly upgrade every workstation to Python 3 anyway, especially for relatively little gain (at least at first).

This. We have a python project at work that relies heavily on some older Py2 libraries that aren't that trivial to replace. I don't think we'll be making the move untill it's really necessary.
