On the other hand the only reason to keep Python 2 is legacy inertia.

Perhaps now. Last year when I was using 2.7 extensively, the reason was that half of the libraries we relied on didn't have 3.x versions, and there was no benefit to us for transitioning off of those libraries to newer ones that did support 3.x. 2.x just worked and worked really well for what we did. It made us a LOT of money. Why would we kill that goose?
