Because Python 2.7 is still supported, and will be officially supported
until 2020, after which it will still have third-party support from
companies like Red Hat until at least 2023.

And I take exception to your use of the word "Luddite" to describe Python 2.
Python 2 is a perfectly fine programming language, and it will continue to
be used by some well past 2020. There's no need to bully people into
upgrading to Python 3, or insult those using Python 2. Python 2 is here for
the long haul.
