I wouldn't be surprised that vendors will still have to do the fixes to Python 2 for many years past that date, and that a kind of "fork" will keep the 2.7 branch decently alive much longer. It's just the current "official" maintainers that announce the cutoff date for their work.
- dagw 8y agoAnother problem is 'semi-abandoned' code. For example the Open Source program QGIS used to use Python2 is its main plug in language but recently switched to Python3. The end result is the most plug-ins don't work any more. And since many of the plug-ins where useful little niche scripts that someone wrote years ago and then stopped updating/supporting once they where done, the chance that most of them will see a port is tiny.
