"Python 2.8 is a backwards-compatible Python interpreter with new
features from Python 3.x. It was produced by forking Python 2.7.12
and backporting some of the new syntax, builtins, and libraries from
Python 3. Python code and C-extensions targeting Python 2.7 or below
are expected to run unmodified on Python 2.8 and produce the same
output. But with Python 2.8, that code can now use some of the new
features from Python 3.x."
Backported features:
- Function annotations
- Keyword-only arguments
- async / await
- no-argument super()
- new metaclass syntax
- yield from
- typing module
- inspect.signature()
- matrix multiplication operator
- fine-grained reworking of OSError
- underscores in numeric literals
- concurrent.futures
- types.MappingProxyType
- selectors module
