All versions of python are python.

If lang is not compatible with any of python versions, then the lang isn’t python.

False advertising is not nice. (even if the fineprint clarifies)

    Python versions are not compatible between themselves, as python does not preserve backward compatibility, ergo python is not python.

      The words "any" and "all" have a different meaning.

      Interestingly I recently had to run a script I wrote for 3.11 on an old system that has 3.6, and the only thing I had to remove were a few type hints (which of course don't affect function). Seems pretty backwards compatible to me.

        Pretty compatible != compatible.

        (I can edit my own script, I would hate if installation instructions for “django” would include “just remove the type hints from the scripts”)
