But I think every employee (including you) can quite easily put some pressure on his company by claiming that Python 2.x is a dead end, and everybody is about to move on to 3.x. This does not have to be true, I just recognize that by claiming it and doing it with your projects, the movement becomes a reality. Just say that we all need to move on and cannot care about companies that ignore this necessity.

I agree it is hard to push things forward, when certain tools are just supporting 2.x. My way to get over this is ranting, and porting some things, and claiming it was a cake walk. A lie, but it helped.

+1, although I'd rather call it a self-fulfilling prophecy than a lie.
