I think there will be at least three areas that will make porting a
challenge:
- - APIs where the semantics have changed instead of being moved,
renamed, or extended
- - C API changes for extensions and embedded apps
- - Unicode/str/bytes incompatibilities
It's worth spending time thinking about how we can help ease the
transition for each. There may be more thing too. I wonder if it
doesn't make sense for all 3xxx PEPs to include a discussion section
on porting.
