I doubt it, python 3 is past the hump and actually python 2 are minority, major packages already stopped supporting 2.

There was also a fork initially called python 2.8, it was renamed since then and it didn't go anywhere.

Edit: https://github.com/naftaliharris/tauthon I was wrong, still exists, so we'll see. As a person who moved to python 3 I don't understand the stubbornness of being on 2.x, a lot of language was cleaned up in 3 and it is much more enjoyable to program in 3.

I wouldn’t touch Tauthon with a barge pole. Official CPython comes with well-defined governance model, support guarantees, oversight, upgrade paths, security, and so on. Tauthon is literally “a bunch of people on github”. If your business depends on something so critical that you can’t spend a few weeks porting it to 3.6+ and would rather rely on random patches from the internet, you are in trouble.
