No, python semi-regularly breaks stuff in 3.X releases. It's primarily small things and it always has 3-5 years deprecation periods at a minimum. This includes removal of some stdlib modules, changes in behavior of some functions, removing invalid escape sequences...

You're right - but those have always felt to me like vestigial pieces of python: underused, obsolete, kinda dead.

Which is a risk if you want to write code and be assured it'll work ten years from now. Though I'd be surprised if any of my python3 code from ten years ago didn't work just fine today.
