I think some raised points are relevant…

    I think they introduce new keywords every now and then. Match and async I think?

    Edit: I was wrong, this is done in a backwards compatible manner

      Those doesn’t break backwards compatibility though. Naturally you can’t use match with a python 3.7 interpreter, but what scripts written for python 3.7 wouldn’t work with a 3.11 interpreter?

      I haven’t encountered that issue before, so I’m curious what those problems OP have encountered looks like.

        Huh, ok. I thought something like match = 0 in an old script might break a more recent version.

        But you may very well be correct.

          match isn’t a protected keyword like if is.

          match = 0
          match match:
              case 0:
                  print(0)
              case _:
                  print(1)
          

          Is legal and will give print out 0.
