I don't have any links but I know there have been statements by core devs that, when/if there is another major version of python being developed, there will be an upgrade path to make the 3->4 transition much better than the 2->3 transition.
- daveguy 11y agoYeah, they pretty much botched the 2->3 transition. I would love to see a 4 that included a viable 2->4 transition with semantic versioning until then. But Guido&Co are going to do whatever the hell they feel like doing, community be damned. Py2.7 will be forked and going strong long after 2020. Actually 2020 will probably be a Python renaissance when the cruft, incompatibilities, gil, no jit, etc can finally be addressed without the Guido mafia. 2.8 will be what 3 should have been, using deprecation for dated syntax and gradual introduction of new features. Python is open source. There will be a 2.8 regardless of whether Guido is involved.
- vegabook 11y ago> community be damned couldn't agree more. Yet all the evidence is that they're still using 3.x as their personal little hobby playground. Exhibit A: type annotations. Just because others are doing it. Nobody is asking for this. Even the PEP took ages to approve because even the yes-men had their doubts. Exhibit B: re-invent green threads. There are 15 solutions already. Where is GPU? Where is multicore? Where is speed? Where is the leadership?
