Why is Python so hard to maintain
#1
Computer systems, applications, languages etc evolve. There are updates. That is fine. But Python seems to have a core competence in backwards INcompatability. I’m wondering why that is.

So that leads to a tendency to need to keep multiple versions around. I currently have 2.7, 3.3 and 3.7. Switching between them is not easy.

I’ll post separately on the specific current problem, but I have long wondered why the complexity of installation etc and the multiplicity of incompatible versions. Ease of use does not seem to be front of mind.
