End of support for python 2.7?

Is there a known date/timeframe when python 2.7 will not be supported any more in favor of python 3?

As of 13 Apr 2014, from http://hg.python.org/peps/rev/76d43e52d978 (PEP 373, Python 2.7 Release Schedule):

The End Of Life date (EOL, sunset date) for Python 2.7 has been moved five years into the future, to 2020. This decision was made to clarify the status of Python 2.7 and relieve worries for those users who cannot yet migrate to Python 3. See also PEP 466.

In May 2010, Word of God was that patchlevel releases for Python 2.7 will probably be made for at least 6 years.

So, maybe 2016, probably later.

Edit: Pushed back to 2020. See the revision to PEP 373, linked to in other answers.

Recently, that date has been updated to January 1, 2020.
