Short and simple: Do you expect PEP 394 to change status or recommendation when official support for Python2 ends in 13½ months time, or at least some time thereafter?
For those that don't have the habit of memorizing PEPs, 394 is the one stating * python2 will refer to some version of Python 2.x. * python3 will refer to some version of Python 3.x. * for the time being, all distributions should ensure that python, if installed, refers to the same target as python2, unless the user deliberately overrides this or a virtual environment is active. -- //Wegge -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
