I’m not sure what you’re complaining about here. Those applications will still work.

The attitude of most python3 devs, which can be surmised as: "I moved my Twitter clone from python2 to python3, and it was easy. What's the big problem? You've had ten years to get this done! Hurry up, you're hurting my productivity."

Just curious, what parts of your code are not portable to Python 3? The biggest barrier usually seems to involve strings/Unicode. Or are you relying on packages that don’t have Python 3 support?
In any case, it sounds like you have a stable Python 2.7 system running, so what’s the issue? Nobody’s going to come and take your code away from you.

Well if you’re not happy about the EoL part then that’s a fair response.
If you don’t care (because your apps will still work and they don’t need or can’t be updated) then it shouldn’t really come up...?
