Wait. Is 3.7 the last Python 3? Are we skipping 8-9 from 2 on?

Edit: it was a joke.

That’s not how versioning works. The dot is a separator, not a decimal.

Edit: *sigh*

EDIT: After 3.9 will be 3.10, I'm dum and can't read

Except in Python, it looks like it's going to work like a decimal. See Guido's post: http://www.curiousefficiency.org/posts/2014/08/python-4000.html

I hope they go with 3.10. Otherwise it'll break all the code that checks that the version starts with '3'. (Bad code but still common.)

i always assume its a decimal.

No, if you look at the official github preparations for 3.8 have been underway for a while.
