One of the most prominent examples of this is the GNU Mailman v2 mailing 
list manager. It has been "undead" for many years despite Mailman v3 
existing and running on Python 3.

Porting to Python3 from Python2 is a non-trivial task, particularly if a 
program needs to handle text in multiple encodings. Many programs never 
made the change, despite having a long time to do so.
