I understand perfectly. ERP products are hard to migrate.

Most customer don't really see the benefit of switching to the newest Odoo version nor python and no one will do it for free sadly.

Well, if they new Odoo version does not offer anything compelling to them then... the customer is always right, no debating on that :D

So I believe they're going to stick with decommissioned Python 2.7 after 2020. Hard to explain the benefit of updates when there is money at stake...

You can monitor the changes since the 11 version and see if they start implement features which will improve your customers modules and/or justify the migration.

Still, getting familiar with Python 3 is worth it anyway (even for professional reasons as a Python developer)

Oh yeah, I definitely prefer to work with Python 3!

Yeah, I hope they come up with great new features that will justify migrations!
