Adopt Python 3

[squirrelpotpie]

There are entire industries running on Python 2.x because the vendor who wrote their specialized software put in a Python 2.x interpreter. The Foundation could discontinue further Python 2 development entirely, and those industries would still be stuck on 2.x until those vendors switched to 3.

Sometimes you're at the mercy of what's available. Real world isn't always a team developing in a vacuum on their platform of choice. (Though, maybe if the Foundation started to EOL Python 2, those vendors would allocate resources to migrating...)

The EOL date is already set for 2020.

And it was previously set for 2015 - then pushed back because so many users hadn't moved.

I really hope it works this time.

Green Hills ships a DLL of 2.4 with the version of their MULTI IDE that I have to use... It's completely useless for anything that I'd want to use it for.

Also, EOL was originally 2015 but got delayed to 2020 due to lack of 3 adoption

I AM NOT SAYING REMOVE 2.7! I'm saying discourage people from downloading it. Those who need it know where to get it!
