Maintenance costs... that only exists because other parts of Python do not keep a stable and backwards compatible API? Same problem as everywhere else, but particularly silly when there are different parts of the same organization that is ruining it for each other internally. Not that I think it is ever defensible. A small cost-saving in one place that is causing more extra work in many other places.

It does make me wonder whether Python is still the best choice for what I use it for, and whether I should be moving to something else.
