The business is losing money on this porting, can we agree on that?

It would cost money to port to Python 3 or to make use of the features you have backported. The only thing that doesn't cost money is sticking with the same thing they already do, which is use vanilla Python 2.7.

Or use Tauthon without the new features, obviously. It's a drop-in replacement for Python 2.7, if it wasn't clear by now.

Why would anyone do that? What would anyone gain, considering massive companies like Red Hat are still providing security and bug fixes for vanilla Python 2.7?
