I don't know. Even though there were and still are problems with Python, especially on the basis of this 2/3 thing, I wouldn't say it feels dead. Well, I mean, of course I do understand that enormous amount of people still use Java, but me personally, since I quit my job as a Java programmer it honestly feels like it doesn't exist. Except for Android it's like there's no real need to use it for anything. Unlike Python, which is pretty much go-to for any scripting and usual CLI tools, go-to for heavily domain-specific stuff, prototyping for any sciency stuff, almost go-to for statistics and ML, still among 3 first choices for web backends. Still new interesting libraries appear which you might want to use. Well, it surely feels like it's still around and relevant when starting something new. Java seems to still be heavily in use because of existing infrastructure (all banks that use Java, that is), not because it has something (maybe even some domain-specific library) which is appealing all by itself.
