But in the coming future it will. All major libraries and frameworks are going to port over to python 3.

But we are missing the point here. PHP could need a cleanup from the ground up even if they have to break a lot of stuff this could help the language to evolve.

Don't bet on it. It has been too many a years already, and no dice (or minimal dice)

This was a big topic of discussion at PyconAU this year.

Having listened to several Python core developers as well as core developers of some major web frameworks and libraries, I have no doubt that Python 3 will replace Python 2.

I think the key tipping point will be when the major web frameworks support it.

The big one is Django, and the whole port is a mess. There's some minimal work but it's like it hasn't even been started.

The official party line on the delay was the lack of a WSGI spec for P3, but there has already been one for several months now.
