The effort required may be less than the benefit as a whole, but as an individual probably not. Moving from Python 2.7 to 3 involves a lot of work for some people with an old stable code base, and benefits those writing new code. Of course as Python is open there’s nothing stoping you from maintaining 2.7 yourself - except that’s more work, and until now you’ve likely benefitted from the work others have done more than you’ve contributed. I had some fairly new code written in nodejs recently that fubared when node was upgraded. Looking at the tangled web of code to try to get working again, and the fact it was under 13 months old before it was reduced to a valueless mess, I spent 4 hours replacing its function with a stable language as that was a better use of my time.
