Though in fairness it had been deprecated for 12 years at that point.
> We did not want to hurt the people using Python 2. So, in 2008, we announced that we would sunset Python 2 in 2015, and asked people to upgrade before then. Some did, but many did not. So, in 2014, we extended that sunset till 2020.

It blows my mind some people are still on Python 2, but I worked at a place that shifted an app to Python 3 in 2021, so I guess I'm one to talk. (Incidentally, I have written much more Python 3 than I ever wrote Python 2, but I still write print without parenthesis the first time, every time.)
