That will be sometime around the year 2257, based on a 18 month minor release 
cycle and 8 minor releases per major release. I'll deal with it around 2233 or 
so when Python 28.0 comes out.


All joking aside, if Python is still in active development by the time we reach 
Python 9.7 in roughly seventy years time, I'll be surprised.
