That's a website that lets you create countdowns. It's not affiliated to Python.
But yes, I guess you could convince some company to keep supporting Python 2 for you. In fact it would surprise me if such service doesn't pop up just before Python 2 support ends. May be much cheaper than porting to 3 for some companies.

#8Umm - no.
There is a lot of python 2 code still out there - including with some big players.
Critical security issues if any will still likely see patches.
Anyone from a big python 2 org able to comment? Is everyone migrating all code?
