And the reason why I think there is a deeper problem is that the issue is clearly not solved with the python2/python3 transition:
Why do some python developers have to maintain installations of a whole handful of python versions just to ensure that their code is working? Why all the mess with pyenv, virtualenv, and so on? If the python developers, as well as the library developers would support backwards compatibility, this would not be necessary at all.
