I don't know what guidance to give Eric, because I don't know what other implementations do nor whether Eric cares about being compatible with those. IIUC micropython does not guarantee this currently, but I don't know if they claim Python 3.6 compatibility -- in fact I can't find any document that specifies the Python version they're compatible with more precisely than "Python 3".

​They currently specify 3.4+.

Specifically, https://github.com/micropython/micropython includes:

""" MicroPython implements the entire Python 3.4 syntax (including exceptions, with, yield from, etc., and additionally async/await keywords from Python 3.5). The following core datatypes are provided: str (including basic Unicode support), bytes, bytearray, tuple, list, dict, set, frozenset, array.array, collections.namedtuple, classes and instances. Builtin modules include sys, time, and struct, etc. Select ports have support for _thread module (multithreading). Note that only a subset of Python 3 functionality is implemented for the data types and modules. """

Note the emphasis I added on the last sentence. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20171218/58460ad5/attachment-0001.html>
