I understand why this is painful for library writers. But if you're just writing an app, why would it matter if you froze on a particular version? 2.7 being out of development and under maintenance seems ideal.
It sucks. I am forced to write targeting 2.7 because of long tail dependencies on extensions that are non trivial ports. However, I can't use some modern libraries like adding a websocket server to my app because the websocket server libraries are 3.x only or depends on gevent (incompatible with windows)
