We also use an application from Autodesk called Maya. It has been a Qt 4 application with Python 2 embedded since 2012. In 2016 they jumped to qt 5 and pyside2. Now Autodesk knows that companies have built large codebase around their product that requires Python 2. What would've happened if pyside2 did not support Python 2.7? They'd be stuck either forcing all their customers to move to Python 3 and risk people not wanting the new version of the software, or they'd be prevented from moving to Qt 5.

Yes, you've said that before.

By 2019 it won't be part of the VFX platform anymore, which is
largely defined by Autodesk. Start migrating now.
