They have been unambiguous about their breaking changes policy for twelve years: you get at least two major versions of warning (i.e. two to three years), possibly more. And old major versions are supported (bugfixes, security fixes, and occasional non-breaking backports) for five years.
If that's not what you're looking for (which is totally fine!) then python is probably not a good fit for your use case.

- williamsmj 6y agoI didn't say anything about your rights? You are free to continue to use python while criticizing it. p.s. Python is not a "product". Treating it like one is guaranteed to result in disappointment.
