That's somewhat irrelevant. Point is, Python 2 will quickly become a
pariah in many corporations during or after 2018, and we are going to
see emergency measures similar to the Y2K craze twenty years ago.

The risk to Python will be whether the occasion is exploited by fanboys
of competing programming languages. The migration from Python 2 might be
to something else than Python 3 in some circles.
