Well, that is one of the cases in which that won't be possible ;)
I think there will be at least three areas that will make porting a
challenge:
- APIs where the semantics have changed instead of being moved,
renamed, or extended
- APIs where the semantics have changed instead of being moved,
- C API changes for extensions and embedded apps
- Unicode/str/bytes incompatibilities
It's worth spending time thinking about how we can help ease the
transition for each. There may be more thing too. I wonder if it
doesn't make sense for all 3xxx PEPs to include a discussion section
on porting.
