This is Python 2.7, but is based on PyPy (so it's waaay faster), and has requests + gevent + lxml built-in, and adds some small niceties from 3.x (yield from, a, b* = foo()).
My point is that there ought be a 2.8, and it ought to keep growing.
I sat through a similar talk about (lack of) 3.x adoption at PyConSwe last year.
Who did the people who invented 3.x think their customers were? What did they think people wanted and needed?
