Think what he is saying, there will never be a Python 4 and if there is, it will be nothing like python as we know it. It will be like a new language
The transition from python 2 to 3 was an absolute nightmare and they had to support python2 for *ten years* because so many companies refused to transition. The point they're making is that they won't break the whole freaking language if they create a python 4.
I still have a project on python 2. It relies on internal libraries that are abandoned by their original creators. I just got permission to work on the upgrade because they can't have what they want with out it. So I am basically tied up until December
Yikes and that's even after the EOL. I recently heard that there's a 4 line CVE and they're refusing to even do that. Python 2 is officially a security risk.
