"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."

I think this project should be renamed.
