I don't think anyone is going to pry it from you. If you want to keep using 2.7, go ahead. It's open source so you can even hire someone to keep maintaining it for you. However, be aware that the vast majority of the people maintaining Python have moved on to 3.x. 2.7.x continues to be maintained because the team believes in giving people a stable platform and a long maintenance window. Long does not mean forever though and most of the people back-porting fixes to 2.7.x will stop by 2020. So, you should have a plan for that. May give 3.x a spin and see how it works for you. I feel like 3.x adoption is speeding up because people have tried porting their code and decided that "yes, 3.x is better".
