[New-bugs-announce] [issue9059] Backwards compatibility

[Raven Demeyer]

New submission from Raven Demeyer <raven.demeyer at gmail.com>:

Python 3 is not backwards compatible with Python 2.

Example:
Python 2: print 'foo'
Python 3: print(bar)

Problem:
Code written for Python during version 2 cannot be used/compiled in version 3

Solution:
Just like any decent self-respecting programming language, add backwards compatibility.
