I forgot to mention that in my sibling comment but I agree, because 2.x is so stable is the main reason it is and will continue to be so popular. You can't have it both ways (new features and stability). Python 2.x is not going anywhere soon. The idea that is going to become unmaintained is ridiculous. If you like it, keep using it, I say. However, maybe take a look at the "What's new in Python 3.x" documents sometime. There are a lot of nifty new features, even if none of them are "killer".

To put it another way: > I don't want to switch to Python 3 because of the changes to the language. You should make this change to Python 2. You can't have it both ways. If you prefer Python 2 because the language hasn't changed, then don't demand changes to Python 2, and certainly don't accuse people of "fighting ideological battles" just because they are adding new features to the latest version of the language instead of old versions.
