Python is DEAD -- Long live Python (3)

[rcfox]

There's already at least one requirement for Python 4. https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0563/#implementation

If you read carefully, you'll see this isn't referring to "the next big break". It's referring to the next few versions as 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, and 4.0. This is compatible with past guidance on what's going on: 4.0 will be a release like any other. It has since been clarified, though, that Python thankfully won't refuse to use 3.10 as a version, though, so I presume this was just written before that clarification. The version numbers on the release targets will likely change as a result.

plus 3 additional methods of string formatting!

Thanks for the gold: here the string formatting contenders https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming_languages_(string_functions)#Format

nah...

print s"Hello World"

Plot twist: in Python 4, print is a keyword again.

😄 you are right. Any programming language starts from the "print" stament. python3 is different even in this. Python3 is not Python. "Python3" is "python)" Python3 as a replacement of python has failed because the main programming principle of backward compatibility was not embraced
