I was about to send the same thing. I think this matter became a vim/emacs issue and Py2 supporters won't take any arguments anymore. But if Instagram can do it, it means that legacy code argument is a matter of will but not a technicality. https://thenewstack.io/instagram-makes-smooth-move-python-3/
Also people are really going out of their ways such as Tauthon https://github.com/naftaliharris/tauthon to stay with Python2. To be honest, I'm convinced that this is a sentimental debate after seeing this fork.
