Meanwhile in Python: 134 million weekly downloads, seemingly slowly trending upward over time, for https://pypistats.org/packages/six which provides third-party compatibility for a version of Python that dropped support over five years ago.
I believe if you pay money to certain repo maintainers like red hat you can still have a supported version of Python 2.7.
Do you know if they also support 3.x?
Do you know if they're available on PyPI?

What kind of "operations" do you mean?
You have a huge pile of "sysop Python" out there interfacing with various infrastructure providers who are more interested in selling infra usage than getting off of Python 2.
"In order to use our new storage service via our library you need to upgrade to Python 3 first" "ehhhhhhhh kinda annoying"
That interaction has happened in the past. Time marches forward of course but.
