Jan 1 2018 is the day I abandon Python 2 for all greenfield projects.

Why are you deliberately making things harder for yourself? You're going to need to upgrade these projects within three years. Just seems like a wasted opportunity not to get off on a strong footing.

My Python 2 code already converts cleanly to Py3 with 2to3. There will be zero effort for me to port anything when 2.7 is EOLed. I just want to be able to use the new features without dancing around the forward compatibility game.

We did that in 2014 in production already :)

I abandoned Python 2 around April 2017 for greenfield.
