Perhaps. I just don’t think Python 4 is anything but distant vaporware. There’s a cost to freaking everyone out that Python 4 is coming and will be as disruptive as Python 3. Calling Python 3.9+1 Python 4 feeds into that FUD for no reason that I can tell except for an aversion to two digit minor version numbers. -Barry
