It will continue to evolve and sometimes that evolution may introduce incompatibilities so earlier versions may have to stop being supported. In many recent polls I keep seeing Python getting an increasing share of programs written for all kinds of purposes. Of course, there will be competition from other languages and new ones will arise.  I also see no reason any one person needs to steer the evolution indefinitely. Unrestricted growth is bad but as the world advances, some growth is a good idea. Bad analogy, but snakes do tend to shed their skin periodically as they grow.

Python tried to shed its skin, but I don't think the project really
got anywhere, and I think it's been shelved (last commit was in March
2017).
