[Python-Dev] 2.7 Release? 2.7 == last of the 2.x line?

[Arc Riley]

I'm not aware of any currently active project that isn't in the process of
adding Py3 support (or who has already done so).  By "most maintainers" I'm
referring to the long tail; the hundreds of 3rd party modules used in niche
cases and can be easily replaced by those who need the functionality they
provide.

Free software is an evolutionary process.  Evolution dictates that those who
cannot adapt will die when faced with a changing environment.  It's better
for us all that they do.

Thus, I am not attempting to persuade anyone to upgrade their package,
rather, I'm explaining why it's best we ignore them and get on with doing
productive work.
