There are other things in Python that must be updated whenever the UC releases an update, and they get treated as features (or perhaps as bugfixes, I'm not sure) but this means they generally don't get backported.
Here's a list of the updates to Unicode: https://www.unicode.org/versions/enumeratedversions.html Roughly yearly. Those still on Python 2.7, for example, are now 8 years behind re Unicode. At least Python 3.6 is only 1 year/release behind, which is fine! _______________________________________________ Python-ideas mailing list Python-ideas@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-ideas Code of Conduct: http://python.org/psf/codeofconduct/
