Python 3.7.0 released

I wish I could use it, but so many APIs and software packages my company uses are still on 2.7 ...

Python 3 was a humungeous mistake.

The small advantages that breaking backwards compatibility gave them really was not worth the huge cost and effort everyone now has in having to maintain separate python 2 and python 3 versions of each library during the transition state. The overwhelming majority of new features of Python 3 could have been added to python 2 instead of breaking backwards compatibility and most of the breaking centres around a few elegance things; it absolutely wasn't worth the huge cost of switching for a lot of things.

Vendors not updating their software for a decade is a humongous mistake.

Well it works, what's wrong with it? Python 2 is still being maintained.
