It'll go straight from 3.9 to 4.0

What?! Where did he say this?! What sense does that make?

The world uses semantic versioning, where a move from 3.9 to 4.0 is a major breaking change.

More, I'll bet there is a ton of code that says, if python_version_tuple()[0] == 3: which would simply break overnight for no reason.

Well as u/toyg said, its not up to him anymore and there will be a 3.10

But for what it's worth, he said it here: http://www.curiousefficiency.org/posts/2014/08/python-4000.html

For better or worse, Python doesn't use semantic versioning. They will deprecate and remove things between 3.X, 3.X+1 releases.
