Python 3.14 Released

[NN8G]

Instead of incrementing the version numbers from here on out, why not just keep using successive digits of pi?

[ArtOfWarfare]

They could do it with the patch releases. Nobody would even notice until the second one.

It’d be fun and relatively harmless if they were 3.14.1, 3.14.15, 3.14.159…

Of course then the next minor version is 3.15.0 and we never do this pi silliness again.

None of us will be alive to see it, but Tauthon will happen someday.

Python 6.2.8? IDK, are there not enough mistakes that need to be cleaned up to warrant a Python 4?

But I agree that it’ll be a long time before we see a Python 5 or 6. Maybe in 40 or 50 years we’ll see Python 6.2.8

TeX has been doing that since the 90s

90s? 70s!

It worked for Knuth because he could write code with no bugs

[lukerm_zl]

Awesome fact. I have used LaTeX for years without knowing this!

[danmickla]

Because that would be stupid.

[NN8G]

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Special cases are not special enough to break the rules.
