Oh no, the schism continues, bad memories of the Python 2/3 debacle resurfacing…
This specific change is only about ABI and not API. So it shouldn’t be as bad.
But I guess the Python community will continue to make breaking changes a small number at a time in minor releases now, and there will never be a Python 4.
I’m not sure that is a better solution, as people are complaining about breakage, and possibly sticking to older versions of Python in some cases (rightfully so: you shouldn’t need to continuously updante and fix scripts once the are running and debugged).
