Based on my experience with Perl usage [1] I guess that Python 2 will be not dead for 5 - 10 years. > Done means finished: complete, not going to be advanced any further. I think that's not true. If enough people want to support Python 2 it might be possible to advance Python 2. Personally I think it's good to clean up the closet now and then. But probably has also to do with me being "new" to the language and not having to port 101 Python programs to 3 :-D.
