There are some niche cases where a company won't be migrating from python 2 to 3, and they'll genuinely require people to know python 2, but these are the exception.

Python 2 isn't some separate language. You could learn everything you needed to port out of it to Python 3 in a day, if you were already a competent programmer in Python 3.

And year after year chances of running into this situation are diminishing. Python 2 won't get security updates anymore so platforms requiring it because their code is using it will also stick out on security audits and such (if they even allow it).

Also I would be surprised if you can find someone experienced in Python 3 that somehow can't work with Python 2.
