I agree that Py3 made a grave error in breaking backward-compatibility.
However, that's the reality and the transition will take place over
time, possibly even before IPv6 overtakes IPv4 in popularity.

But then, I was never really beholden to third-party libraries and
frameworks. Instead, the batteries-included philosophy still has a great
appeal to me.
