Those two statements are mutually incompatible. Python3 is a different language with different semantics. It is possible to work in a subset of python2 and pyt

  No, you are confusing "features" and "syntax". Both Python 2 and Python 3 are Turing complete. They have the same expressiveness. It's possible to backwards-compatibly extend Python 2 to achieve feature-parity with Python 3 while preserving Python 2 syntax. Python 4 proposed by me is possible, while Python 6 (which must be backwards-compatible with both 2 and 3) is probably not possible.

    > It's possible to backwards-compatibly extend Python 2 to achieve feature-parity with Python 3 while preserving Python 2 syntax. The syntax between 2 and 3 is essentially the same. A few minor tweaks here and there, but nothing major. Your point is a bit pointless because changes to the language that are not on the syntactical level (i.e unicode/bytes) cause the meaning of the code to change, despite the syntax being the same.
