Fedora 31 is due out this coming Tuesday (2019-10-29).  It will still have python2 available, but the generic "python" command will be linked to python3.  Scripts would have to be changed to explicitly call python2.

Fedora 32, in about 6 months, will remove python2 for most purposes.  There will be a python27 package available for legacy use, but from what I can tell, it would have to be installed manually by a user - automatic installation via dependencies will not be allowed.

Bottom line - figure 6 months for Fedora before python2 is history.
