My only concern is this kind of change in semantics for existing syntax is more worthy of a major revision than a point release.

- rbanffy 1y agoIt's opt-in at the moment. It won't be the default behavior for a couple releases. Maybe we'll get Python 4 with no GIL. /me ducks
- necovek 1y agoPython already has a history of "misrepresenting" the ycope of the change (like changing behaviour of one of core data types and calling it just a major version change — that's really a new language IMHO). Still, that's only a marketing move, technically the choice was still the right one, just like this one is.
- markkitti 1y agoAgreed. This should have been Python 4.
