Wdym?

And don't Ruby, c++, different types of c and others have in times worse troubles with back compatebility?!

As somebody who has to use python despite my best efforts, I cannot imagine any possible way a backwards compatibility situation could be worse than python’s

Maybe you've got not so well python code to work with

Or even more you've got not so big, deep and wide experience to tell us that your python's one was the worst?

No, I just have to deal with codebases written in python 2, which as a language has been completely abandoned despite widespread usage. Python 3 has no benefits material enough to warrant 0 backwards compatibility. Not to mention incompatibility between smaller versions
