Beaverton, Oregon A report released this morning reveals that the Python Software Foundation recommends all developers look for DepreciationWarnings in their code as this minor version upgrade aims to be the last to support a number of features maintained for the sake of compatibility with Python 2.7, an older, unsupported version of the language. The release's authors note that they retained some backward compatibility options "to give more time for Python project maintainers to organize the removal of the Python 2 support." This is the latest allowance in a long history of extensions to give the people tasked with maintaining the innumerable Python 2 codebases around the world sufficient time to update to the modern, unified language. Python's upcoming 3.9 release will offer merge and update operators for the class dict
, new string methods, built-in generic types, and a new parser. The release is available today as a beta.
