The Google Bard says that the actual usage of Python versions today is as follows:
- Python 3: 80.3%
- Python 2: 15.3%
- Other versions: 4.4%
As you can see, Python 3 is the most popular version of Python, with a usage share of over 80%. This is because Python 3 is a major revision of the Python language that was released in 2008. Python 3 introduces a number of new features and changes that make it a more modern and powerful language.
Python 2 is the second most popular version of Python, with a usage share of over 15%. Python 2 was released in 2000 and is the older version of the language. Python 2 is still supported by the Python Software Foundation, but it is no longer being actively developed.
Other versions of Python, such as Python 3.1, Python 3.2, and Python 3.3, have a usage share of less than 5%. These versions of Python are no longer supported by the Python Software Foundation and are not recommended for use.
If you are new to Python, I recommend that you use Python 3. Python 3 is the future of the Python language and it is the version that is most widely used.

I guess real time stopped in 2019 since
Ok the other side i can't find a credible source for python 2 usage, but i feel 15% seems to be a lot since their is no Linux distributable any more so no server software that can depend on it without "manually" installing it and knowing their is probably security issue. The only market share remaining are local script never updated and forgotten in some repositories.
Although I'm sure there is a few exception like this laptop on the 7 floor that shall not be closed
I agree. I was also surprised. But it looks that Bard finds this data pretty easy. In my previous post about usage of ruby in websites and statistics from buildwith site was pulled by Bard on my question about. So, this response probably is taken somewhere and probably its one of the most relevant in terms of Bard AI making decisions.
Or it's a proof that we should use those information with even more care than Wikipedia since it's not even sourced. I'm not saying it's not useful, just that it's the same worth as taking with a stranger in a park
You have a point🤔
Again playing with bard and his realtime internet collecting data.
