CPython has officially announced that there will be one more release (2.7.18) in April 2020 [1]. After this date all work on python2 will stop as far as the official community is concerned. This means no bug fixes, security fixes or vulnerability checks will be done by the official python community.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Move away from Python 2 immediately. To continue to use it will put you and your organization at significant risk. To make this transition as smooth as possible, meta-python2 has been created [2]. But note that maintenance of that layer will be entirely up to the community after Q12020. I have no business nor personal need to continue using python2 and will therefore have no motivation to continue to maintain that layer. Someone else will have to step up.
