If enough people like Python 2 that much, I guess someone else can take over maintaining and developing this language version past the official EOL date.
Like Guido's employer, for example. (see pyston)
I think you see this argument used a lot when it comes to Python 3 about it not working so well. I don't see the maintainers changing their minds about EOL on python 2 so either switch to Python 3 or to another language. There is so much toxicity around the Python community because of people thinking they are entitled to have everyone still support Python 2.
