> Python needs a version 4 to make a clean break

The tragedy of Python 3 is that they made the community go through a billion dollar migration but didn't tackle any of the hard stuff. And the reason they didn't was the Perl 6 debacle. So it's all Larry Wall's fault.

Python 3 took the exact same path as Larry Wall's Perl 6. But unlike Perl, it was able to come out largely unscathed.

Python could do with more major version upgrades, but small scoped upgrades that only change tiny, manageable pieces. Forcing a good package manager on all Python developers would be a good candidate for this.
