To my best knowledge Python 2.7 is actively maintained
and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future.
2.7.2 came out last July with 2.7.3 not so far away.

So there is no pressure to migrate.
If it can be easily done of course it would be nice extra
to move to Python 3.

Best Regards,
Bernhard

   Release:	2.7.2
   Date:	January 09, 2012

   Python 2.7 was released on July 3, 2010.

  The Future for Python 2.x

   Python 2.7 is intended to be the last major release in the 2.x series. The 
   Python maintainers are planning to focus their future efforts on the Python 
   3.x series.

   This means that 2.7 will remain in place for a long time, running
   production systems that have not been ported to Python 3.x.
