This isn't strictly true. The final cPython release (2.7.18) is slated for April next year [0], and PyPy has no such plans to drop support [1].

I don't honestly think Python 2 is going anywhere for a while yet (judging from some of the commercial codebases I've seen at least). I sometimes wonder if this mess would have dragged on quite so long if there'd been better features in Python 3.
