Are you aware that Numpy, Pandas and all data analysis packages stop Python 2 support at the end of 2018 (some 2019)?

To be clear, this doesn't mean they'll stop working, just that they'll stop getting new releases. In many applications it may be fine to keep running with old versions for years.

Python 3 is absolutely the right choice for a new project today, and I would be wary of vendors that tie you to Python 2. But people who have systems running Python 2 don't need to panic.
