   Take:
   
   Software written in Python 2 will never break, whereas programs using Python 3 may break due to changes in standard library.
   
   Write in Python 2.

     https://docs.python.org/3.9/library/collections.html
     
     Deprecated since version 3.3, will be removed in version 3.10: Moved Collections Abstract Base Classes to the collections.abc module. For backwards compatibility, they continue to be visible in this module through Python 3.9.

     @a1ba@suya.place the last major release was 3.0 tho, everything since was a minor release, thus any breaking changes are a bug

     @Reiddragon well yes, some random major release broke "collections" for me.

     @a1ba@suya.place CPython treats all breaking changes in the stdlib as a bug when not in the major release tho

     @a1ba @Reiddragon Well I guess that's Yocto for you but yeah Python is a mess in terms of compatibility, there is bound to be programs breaking on new python release branches.
     
     And as python doesn't fully validates files before execution, you're stuck with discovering bugs during program runtime, which is great when python adds things like a new keyword because you're sure it's going to cause a weird problem where users will be confused as to what happened.
