Three is (finally) likely to win, if only because of the constant nagging of the project leaders, and the fact that some distros will now move to it by default.

Three is (finally) likely to win, if only because of the constant nagging of the project leaders, and the fact that some distros will now move to it by default. But it will be a pyrrhic victory because it will have been a force-feed, not an enthusiastic, willing, adoption by the community. As a result of this mess, while Python's inertia is huge, its momentum is slowing. Its leadership, having lost credibility, cannot really lead effectively anymore. It will continue to be a massive, unavoidable language, but something of the magic of when I first learned it, has been snuffed out.
