Python doesn’t follow SemVer. It’s more like “3.{major}.{patch}.” Also, they have deprecation warnings for many, many releases before finally killing something off.
yeah, it follows their documentation, it's just a bad idea.
A lot of the things they break are pretty minor cleanups and it seems they could easily not have broken things. Many other languages, even compiled languages where the explosions happen at compilation, are much more careful about these things. For a dynamic language like python it's an especially bad idea.
