I rather doubt that allowing breaking changes into a Python 4.0 would end up with this as the only proposed incompatibility. Once word got out, a flood of incompat requests would probably get raised. I personally have a change I'd like made to doctest (https://bugs.python.org/issue36714), and I know of another in argparse (https://bugs.python.org/issue33109) that I'm personally neutral on but that others have stronger feelings about. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list -- python-dev@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to python-dev-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/python-dev.python.org/ Message archived at https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-dev@python.org/message/SEBJF7C7RRG3Q3MFD5D6CTOFZUX7DNSE/
