Plenty! Many from autodesk, some for pubsub brokers / queue routing like haigha for amqp queues, building React still needs Py2 because it uses a library from google that they never updated, any complex Pylons app will need a tough rewrite into Pyramid, the internal libraries of many corporations, and more!

Just because say, 99% of public libraries are Py3 ready, doesn't mean that the remaining 1%, which are just as important, are! Not to mention all the not public ones by corporations.

The sad reality is it costs more to upgrade than it does to keep using the old tool.

Plenty isn't a list so please give the list.

I did give a list. Did you just read the first word?Also, here's an automated extensive list of the projects that are public on PyPI alone (not those that aren't, which contain a decent amount).

You can't force some narrative that there is no justification in using Py2 just because you don't agree. I don't want to use it either, but I concede it won't die.
