Take a look at the PEP - https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0617/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0617/

  I'm aware of that, but I was curious about real-world effects (the PEP is mostly theoretical).

    The real world effects, aside from a little slower parsing speed iirc, would only be noticed by the compiler / parser writers. Mainly making it easier to do syntax extensions... For Python devs there will be no real-world effects...

      > Mainly making it easier to do syntax extensions... Yes, AFAICT the main reason for the parser change is to enable the pattern matching feature [0] that’s likely coming in 3.10. [0] https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0634/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0634/

        Here is a readable PEP * https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0635/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0635/

          PEP 622 has been superseded by 634, 635 and 636.

            oh, thanks. Either way, 634 is not particularly enlightening. 635 it is..
