Re:Numpy: Plan for dropping Python 2.7 support by Bedon292 on Wednesday November 15, 2017 @05:36PM (#15708572)
I have always been interested in that cycle. We use 2 because NumPy supports it still. NumPy supports it because we use it. If a major library had dropped support earlier on, I am curious what would have happened.

I bet the same dynamic happened with Linux distributions including Python 2 as the default as well. Double whammy.
