For the record, we account for the following version tests when 
analysing code (on lgtm.com):

sys.version == "3"
sys.version_info > (3,)
sys.version_info[0] == 3
sys.version_info[:2] >= (3,0)
sys.hexversion > 0x03000000

Of these forms, `sys.version[0] == "3"` and `sys.version_info[0] == 3` 
will be broken by changing the major version to 4.

Personally, I prefer 3.10 to 4.0 unless there is a significant language 
change involved.

Cheers,
Mark.
