RHEL7 "runs on" Python 2 and is to be supported at least until 2024, so I don't think Python 2 is going away.

At the same time, Red Hat is aggressively switching everything to Python 3.

(Red Hat has been one of the primary maintainers of Python 2.7 in the last few years. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7582300 )

The BSDs on the other hand (including MacOS) "run on" Python 2 and haven't made as much progress switching to Python 3.

Extended EOL for RHEL6, which runs on Python 2.6 is in mid-2024, too. Python 2 isn't going to go away for a long time in the enterprise yet.
