As a Python programmer in the 2.x days, I think data science happened fortuitously to counteract the exodus over the 2->3 transition. For a long time, it felt to me like python was on the way out because of the changes.

At the same time a lot of undergrad programmers were being introduced to Python 3. I think that’s probably the single biggest factor in the Pythons success.
