Those changes are big enough that they’d need to be a Python 4, don’t you think? Community is still gun why after the 2-3 transition pain.

- adgjlsfhk1 1y agoyeah. Python is somewhat trapped here. because Python is slow, real work gets moved to C, and the C api makes it almost impossible to speed Python up. If Python had made the API changes needed for speed 20 years ago, there would be way less C code, so further changes would be easier, but that ship has now basically sailed

- Sesse__ 1y agoThe biggest problem of the Python 3 release was that it broke a bunch of _Python_ code. That's pretty different from changing the C API. But sure, it has ups and it has downs. One of the downs is that Python, despite a lot of announcements over the years, still is struggling to become significantly faster.
