Besides which, it would be lovely to have a major release that didn't involve any pain at all for the majority of users!

Our erstwhile BDFL always eschewed two-digit version identifiers- due to the possibility for confusion about collating sequence, I beleive.. We should honour his preferences by going from 3.9 to 4.0. Is 4.0 still gonna install as "python3", pip3, etc, executable as "py -3" on windows? I can see that being a pain point even if nothing else is.

Maybe by then it can go back to just being python, as 2.x will be past end-of-life. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20190524/366fab89/attachment.html>
