Py 3 is not the future of CPython either. Even today the overwhelming majority of projects use 2, even new projects.

While this has historically been the case, Python 3.4/3.5 has really sped up adoption of Python 3, and from an open source maintainer, Python 3 is making large inroads.

Also, libraries are slowly going to drop Python 2.x support and go Python 3 only.

If by great inroads you mean "around 6-10% in PyPI after 8 years of trying", then yes.

But unless it gets over 30-40% it's not anywhere near significant in my charts...

As soon as Python 2.7 was put in maintenance mode I see much more people talking about Python 3. There are even libraries that are Python 3 only.

All the developers needed was a kick in the butt. If only PSF did that sooner.
