If a Python 4.0 ever happens, it will abide by the usual feature release compatibility restrictions (i.e. anything that it drops will have gone through programmatic deprecation in preceding 3.x releases). This means there won't be any abrupt changes in syntax or semantics the way there were for the 3.0 transition. http://www.curiousefficiency.org/posts/2014/08/python-4000.html goes into more detail on that topic (although some time after I wrote that article, we decided that there probably *will* just be a 3.10, rather than switching the numbering to 4.0) Cheers, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan | ncogh...@gmail.com | Brisbane, Australia _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
