Galbo is referring correctly to the minor version, as specified in <URL:https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0440/> and Semantic Versioning <URL:http://semver.org/>. So, “3.5.3” → “3.5.4” is a change of patch version. “3.5” → “3.6” is a change of minor version. And “2” → “3” is a change of major version. -- \ “[I]t is impossible for anyone to begin to learn that which he | `\ thinks he already knows.” —Epictetus, _Discourses_ | _o__) | Ben Finney
