I don't think the main problem is to change the version of Python, but the version of all the related libraries, which many of them depend on 2.7 version. I know many of the big ones are already on 3.x for a long time, but I wonder how long will it take to replace and upgrade all the small ones if it did not happen already... BTW I don't know how necessary was to break compatibility between 2.7 and 3, the pain of this transition comes from that decision

Any major library that hasn't moved to Python 3 by now isn't going to on their own accord. Either that means they won't, or that the sunsetting will kick them into gear (or get their users to kick them into gear). It should be pointed out that Python 2 will continue to be used, and be usable. It just won't get new security upgrades or features. I do not know, but I doubt if there will be a feature or security flaw come up soon that "forces" existing python 2-only libraries to update
