Was the Python 1 to 2 migration anywhere near as bad as the bloodbath that 2 to 3 has been?

(My guess: no, but that happened well before my Python initialization.)

The Python community was growing so fast, within a couple of years most Python developers had never used 1.x. Also 2.0 introduced an awful lot of very valuable improvements. In any case, 1.6 had some source incompatibilities with 1.5.2 anyway, so eh.

1->2 was not backwards incompatible like 2->3 was.
