Comment 4 for bug 1530734

Python 2 won't be on the installable images produced by Ubuntu, but it's not going away from the Ubuntu archive particularly soon. Launchpad and its dependencies will still have a Python 2 to rely upon, even after we upgrade to 16.04.

I don't think it's likely that Launchpad will be ported away from Storm. That would be a very large amount of work for not much benefit; when it comes to it, porting Storm to Python 3 would likely be a lot less effort.

In general, we do want to port Launchpad to Python 3, and have been taking gradual steps towards that as time permits, but our dependency tree is very large and it will take quite a while. The world is not going to end for us in 2016, though.
