No core Python dev will support Python 2 after EOL. Some corps may continue to do so sure, just like there are Java 1.4 codebases still in production. I will work on a Java 1.4 codebase if you are prepared to pay for my accrued personal obsolesce as well. If your Java 1.4 job is the last job I'll do it has to pay for the next 15 years lost income as well. The same will go for Python 2.

I'm personally rooting for this fork now: https://github.com/naftaliharris/placeholder https://github.com/naftaliharris/placeholder - it's what Python3 should have been.
