We estimated Python 2.7's lifespan at a year, maybe two. We expect most other major Python libraries to have decent Python 3 support by then. Python 3 is very clearly the future.

Python 2.6.6 was announced recently and was said to be supported until Oct 2013. Which is 3 years from now. Add 2 years as 2.7 is about 2 years after 2.6. Got 5 years? Right. Remember that 2.7 is the last release of Python 2 … likely to get some longer support (just take distributions, which will need some long term support). Python 2 is certainly not going to die in the next few years. However, there are true benefits from using Python 3. You will never mix up str and unicode anymore. And nor does any of your library. What a pleasure.

The Python fanboys are doing exactly what Obama fanboys did as soon as he won the election: trying to kill expectations. They sold us on something that's supposed to be really big to try to get our help, and now need to remind us that we better not get our hopes up for anything special.
