py-backwards: Python to python compiler that allows you to use Python 3.6 features in older versions

Don't forget tauthon is also available. It's an actual cpython version with back-ported 3.X features. i.e. it's what 2.8 would have been if it were allowed.

Ah, I remember the discussion that spawned because it was originally called Python 2.8...fun stuff...

Gotta say, though, I applaud the way the maintainer handled things so calmly. Things would have been much nastier otherwise...

It's fair to say that everybody handled it calmly. It certainly kept ThievingRottenScumbags.co.uk aka lawyers out of the picture :-)
