https://pythonclock.org/ says Python 2.7 will retire in 1 Month, 10 Days, 4 Hours, 56 Minutes and 49 Seconds

More to the point: this is one of the best tutorials on getting a Python development environment set up I've ever seen, but I want people to get going with Python 3 so they can use my Datasette project!

I imagine updating it to Python 3 is not an insignificant amount of work, due to the need to re-record the installation videos. But I'm optimistically filing a bug report anyway!

The plan is rewrite the class with Python 3 and Altair for NICAR 2020!

Awesome!
