The number of Python2-supporting development tools and useful modules, used in the development and in user extensions of Calibre, will reduce considerably:

There is not a single project in that list that calibre or any of its extensions use.
Whoever wrote that document hasn't the first clue what porting to python 3 actually involves for a project of calibre's complexity.
That's for libraries and frameworks, not applications, and even then the amount of finance that would be required to port calibre (which is of approximately the same size as python itself) would dwarf all the existing payments, combined.

And you will be able to continue using it, regardless of what the twits at python.org decide to do.
