Hi,
Just bear in mind that I have read only a couple sentences in the PEP.
But as soon as you propose to offer only "partial compatibility" with
a previous version, then I think it's worse than useless. You are
introducing an additional Python version, i.e. "3.9 bended towards 3.8

Hi Victor,
I think this is a nice idea, but I do wonder how this would
be used in practice:
The problem is that Python projects
typically use lots of 3rd party modules and if a few decide
to use/rely on the feature, this may create a situation where
packages then compete over which compatibility

Hi,
I propose the following PEP to add
sys.set_python_compat_version(version) to introduce a partial
compatibility with Python 3.8 in the next Python 3.9 version.
I also propose this PEP in a pull request:

I re-read your proposal.
Please ignore my suggestion. :)
I misunderstood core concept of your proposal :)

If possible, please try to read the whole PEP before replying.
Done.
TL;DR Besid
The proposal looks awesome to me. Victor :)
It could be out of scope for this proposal.
How about adding APIs about compatibility implementation in this proposal?
e.g compatibility_python_implementation
usage will be
sys.compatibility_python_implementation(('Cpython', 'PyPy', 'XXXPython'))
We ca
