Python community doesn't release new versions nearly as fast. Every major python version release, there is usually a PEP announcing the schedule new version release date far in advance for the community to prepare.
To me, Node community just release new versions fast and furious. If the committers won't, then there are people who jump out and fork the project.
Of course there are the other extreme of long release cycles like Debian but there are good reasons for that.
IMMO, a mature large community of an open source project community should always take the package ecosystem into considering when introducing new versions or breaking changes.
PS: I was pretty annoyed that one of the npm package I used a lot `aglio` is broken again on 5.0.0 after I filed a ticket for the compatibly issue with 4.2.1. This ticket has just been closed a few days ago and is only less than two weeks old!
