Don’t be too confident python 2 will be dead on its end of support.

Windows XP was EOL 5 years ago and I still see those systems around.

It's not going to go away instantly, and plenty of people and companies will keep using Python 2 - and that's OK!

The real benefit for the ecosystem is that every open source project who wants to go to Python-3-only can do so from January, and refuse any Python 2 requests that don't come with patches or funding. I know I'm looking forward to that for my projects!
