one of
the great things about python is that it is very slowly versioned, 10 years old
and only v2.1. I've been using it for 4 years and cannot think of a single
backward incompatability. As opposed to say VB where the new .net release
is dramatically different than the current 6.x? release.. Languages
usually go through a difficult period of versioning ( think Java 1.2.1 ) but
Python has been blissfully spared this ( in my experience so far
).

so since noone seems to be around I would like to start a discussion.
How much do you think Python is going to change from release to release?
I am a newbie but I couldn't help noticing that many additions and removals are
implemented with each new version.
Sorta like: you might spend hours implementing a method in 2.1 just to find out that
.. oh.. that library function does exactly what you want in 2.2.
I can see that a language needs to evolve... but sometimes I'm just more confortable
with good old ANSI 'C'. So to speak..
Anyone wants to comment?
