I recently started Python 4, which will be backwards compatible with 2.7. Submit your ideas as issues today!

Beware that Python is a trademarked name.

I honestly can't tell if you are joking or think that using "Python 4" as the name of such a thing is a good idea (no way will the Python Software Foundation let you use their trademark, so if you are serious, you are just setting yourself up for hassles).


Thanks for the feedback, I'll look into it.

I think Python 4 is a good name because most Python users feel that Python 3 was a misstep, and never plan to move to Python 3.


Yeah, "Python 4" sounds _less_ compatible with 2.7, not _more_ compatible. I like the "TwentyEight" name, or how about "Two4Evr". :)


You could call it TwentyEight.
