Realistically there is a value to porting to Python 3, in a year and some months Python2 will no longer be receiving security updates from Python Core. This will get taken care of by third parties for awhile but I fully suspect this support to be incomplete and eventually relegated only to RHEL.

Is this an official statement? A few minutes with Google produced a number of articles that claimed five (or sometimes six) years of support for 2.7 starting in 2010, but I couldn't find a clear statement on python.org.

Which is really just going to be read as another "fuck you" to the Python community, the vast majority of which is probably still going to be using Python 2...
