One idea I've heard is to switch to calendar versioning after 3.9. So we'd start with something like "2021" (year) or "2021.06" (year + month). sys.version_info would stay monotonic and so would the version macro in the C-API. The executable would still be "python3" so it may still make sense to incorporate "3" into the version. When we do get to a major/breaking change we'd change the executable to "python4" and incorporate "4" into the version. Switching to calver doesn't necessarily mean we'd tie ourselves to a fixed release schedule, but doing so would probably fit better with calver. :) Anyway, this is just something I've heard discussed which I kind of liked. -eric _______________________________________________ python-committers mailing list python-committers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-committers Code of Conduct: https://www.python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
