Will Python 2 ever end ?

Developers care about perfomance and if Python 3 becomes faster than Python 2 then I think people will begin to port their stuff to Python 3.

Yeah, that's the way I feel too. Unicode safety is nice, but that's not enough for the pain right now. I imagine, 5 years down the track, a Python 3.5 or 4.0 including the same syntax and libraries but a way faster CPython.

Edit: sorry I wrote that when I was tired, forgot to add 'in 5 years time, that being the common version of Python'.

Unladen swallow's JIT is coming to Python 3 a lot more quickly than 5 years.
