Python 2.7 runs two of our critical legacy services. Big public company. Both are no longer being actively developed and the strangler pattern is being used to move these to Go services.

Bank of America used Python 2 (as of 2016), I suppose they would have updated their software.

I heard it's so far away from ordinary Python that they even have their own code editor.
