There's a well-known and established way of signaling breaking changes in
software platforms—it is to increment the major version number.
Rather than debating the merits of breaking code on 3.9 or 3.10, wouldn't it
make more sense to do it in a Python 4.0 instead? Well, either of these
strategies sound logical to me:
- Python 4.0 with removal of all of the Python 3-era deprecations
- Continuing Python 3.1X with no breaks
In other words, we should keep compatibility, or not. In any case, from the
looks of it these will be tiny breaks compared to the Unicode transition.
Cheers,
