I feel that concurrency is something used by far more than 1% of programmers. That it will be built-in the language itself, rather than through libraries, is pretty important in terms of delivering simpler code.
The Python 2/3 divide isn't that big of a deal anymore. This is not 2010. Almost all of the important libraries support Python 3; thinking especially to scientific computing. More and more distros are offering Python 3 by default. Big projects, like Red Hat's package manager, have switched to Python 3 (in Yum's case, by its replacement DNF).
It's only a matter of time before Python 2 isn't something that will be encountered in mainstream projects, only legacy systems. Which is nothing new (there's still lots of Fortran projects out there.) For them, the old version still exists. It will always exist. Should they want to make the jump to Python 3, the resources required are much less as compared to making the jump to another language.
Python 3 fixes fundamental flaws collected over the first twenty years of its inception. For those that cannot use a newer version of the language at this time, the old version is available.
