I know this wasn't really what you were saying, but just to clear something up in case someone takes the wrong thing away from this: "python:3" definitely isn't just "non-breaking version updates" - Python 3 has and will break compatibility between versions (e.g: 3.7 turns "await" and "async" into keywords).

I guess the only thing I can say is "way to go Python"? https://semver.org defines what how breaking changes are supposed to be made, obviously for those following suit.

Lots of projects don't follow semver, unfortunately.

Python spells its major version with two integers separated with a dot; done.
