I try to avoid it for new programs though, as the life of the sane language version (Python 2) is going to end at some point.

Don't hold your breath for that. There are tens (hundreds?) of millions of Python code in production that's nobody ever gonna port, and that people will still support well into 2040.

So better job expectancy for Python programmers? :D
People still have to maintain Cobol programs, Python 2.x is not going to go anywhere.
