  3. Python 3.12 will run 99% of code written for Python 3.4. They're extremely good about following semver and giving long deprecation windows.

  6. Python3 code is extremely forward-compatible. It's been my primary language since 3.4, and the only times I've had stdlib code break was when an import moved around (and that move was telegraphed versions in advance).

  7.  @thingsiplay  It was never random, just nonsensical (IIRC it had to do with hashes). Dicts being non-ordered was never part of the spec—if your code relied on that behavior, then that's just xkcd 1172.
