It would be interesting to have feedback from people who lived the transition to Python 2.
There was no comparable transition. Python 2.0 was basically 1.6 renamed for a different distributor. I regard Python 2.2, which introduced new-style, as the beginning of Python 2 as something significantly different from Python 1. I suppose one could also point to the earlier intro of unicode. The new iterator protocol was also a major change. In any case, back compatibility was kept in all three respects (and others) until Python 3. -- Terry Jan Reedy
