While I generally agree with your comment, Python generally gives easily accessible migration paths. Regarding your division example, you could import from __future__ integer_division (maybe it was another name?) Since I think Python 2.5 before it became the default in, I think, 2.7. I wish the wallrus operator was available as a future import, bit it's not. Also, Python never had printf. It had a print statement; print became a function in Python 3. Yes, its a syntax change, but its for the better. Having print as a first class statement expands its utility and versatility.
