Most certainly not. It's the goal of each language to finally become
self-hosted, and I hope we see that for python. But that's nothing that
will happen anytime soon (soon being at least half a decade), and most
probably not for the 2.x-versions.

Nope, but I heard through the grapevine that while it won't be supported for
all times to come, a new version is in the making. 

But ultimately, the author says that the approach is flawed, so at *some*
point it will be discontinued. But that could be said about nearly
everything, couldn't it?
