It's tough to know but I keep an eye on this stuff. You can count on a solid ~10% marketshare for Python3. Going too far beyond that without updated numbers would be overly generous.
Roughly 12% of PyPi has been ported to Python3[0] and about 10% of pip downloads are Python3[1].

- kstrauser 10y agoMore importantly (to me) is that Py3 uploads have now exceeded Py2, according to https://twitter.com/chupapuma/status/730088983586181120 https://twitter.com/chupapuma/status/730088983586181120
- BuckRogers 10y agoI saw that one too but Py3 hasn't actually intersected with Py2 yet. Uploads will level off. It doesn't have relevance on a marketshare question, it would be misleading. It does show some momentum. Most everything you would want already exists on Python2. A lot of those uploads are forks or new projects that already have solutions in 2. I have no problem with Python3 and glad to see people putting their money where their mouth is and 'get to porting'. Rather than blogs/complaining about the userbase/backroom deals and conspiracies to kill Python2.
