Interestingly, Django is one of the big projects that has already announced they're dropping Python 2 support before 2020. Django 1.11, to be released in April 2017, is scheduled to be the last version to support Python 2. [1]
They've prudently made their last Py2 release a long-term support release, but if you want new Django features after December 2017, you're going to be using Python 3.
Django works great on Python 3, BTW, and if you've got plugins that haven't updated, I would recommend being a bit suspicious of their code quality.
