How many servers are still running RHEL 6 and can't upgrade to RHEL 7 (or later) before 2020? If you absolutely cannot upgrade to Python 3, at least upgrade to 2.7. But as others have said, upgrading to 3.4+ is not as hard as many people fear, and your code generally improves as a result - for example, you often get improvements in internationalization support from the text/bytes split.
