> Libraries, tools, snippets, SO questions, etc. And many of those are still in 2.7 or at least need to specify different solutions for 2.7... It is still a pain.

Admittedly there were some libraries that took a long time to switch, but at this point there is no serious library left, that did not make the switch.

Exactly. I've gone farther even, and this is my motto now:

    Python 3.6+ or burn it to the ground

I mself still have to port a few projects yet, but those that got stuck in 2.7-3.5 land are en route to dying a fiery death, and being reborn in 3.6+ (3.8 where applicable, 3.6 as the lowest I'm willing to accept).
