> Python 2 will never die.

Everything dies.

> Ask Kenneth Reitz for example. He says he will use Python 2 forever.

So, assuming this currently-stated intent never changes and Reitz is immortal, Python 2 will always be in use.

The first of those premises is somewhat suspect, the second even moreso.

> There are a lot of companies with huge codebases who never will port to Python 3.

That's probably true. Its less likely true that those companies will never port off Python 2.



> Everything dies

Python itself might die when Python 2 dies, and arguably, Python 3 makes that more likely.
