Plea for Python 2.7 LTS

[Gribouillis]

Python 3 was first released 11 years ago, which left companies a lot of time to adapt to python 3. I suppose that if there is enough will to keep python 2.7 alive, these companies could also hire developers to maintain their own branch of python 2. Furthermore, converting python 2 code to python 3 is not that hard and is largely automated by the 2to3 program. Why don't they do it? They want other people to work for them for free!
