It's too bad that when version updates break backwards compatibility, that the software isn't renamed. It's not like there is a shortage of letters. Then, the two versions could be installed in parallel, and those that can't be updated could still be accessed with the old version. Migration wouldn't need to be an all or nothing thing, but could be a gradual shift. I thought something like pythoo, pythop, pythoq, etc. or pythpn, pythqn, pythrn, etc. Or, now for something completely different, parrot. Or defunct. Or gastric. Or bflsplk. Maybe for python4 this will happen. And now, back to your regular programming. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
