"Python 3 exists because Guido saw areas of the language that needed some
improvements and the changes couldn’t be made with backward compatibility in
mind."
(This wisdom of that has been hotly debated.)
Mind that there is -quite- a lot of p2 code out there that will never be
changed. There are also a lot of hard feelings about the incompatibilities,
and I know several companies that elected to rewrite into Rust or Go (or
other languages) instead of to p3.
Having said that, IMHO it's not really on-topic for this list.
Later,
