There won't be a Python 2.8 (at least, not from python.org), so there won't be any feature additions to the Python 2 line. It'll be supported in terms of bugfixes for a good while though, see PEP 373 [1], and of course distributions can do their own backporting of patches for as long as they like (Red Hat will quite possibly want to support old Pythons for a long time).
