Rust did it with its "edition" system, where you can freely mix and match modules from the 2015 edition with modules from the 2018 edition. Unfortunately, in the Python 2 to Python 3 transition a fundamental data type (strings) changed, which would make freely mixing Python 2 and Python 3 code much harder.
