You can't walk Python code backwards anyway without already considering the minor version differences. eg. f'strings'.

At least f"strings" are an explicit failure case and are obvious when you run unit tests / coverage

Not only f strings, but any change really.. New operators, new methods on standard library objects... Python never guaranteed compatibility of new code with old interpreters.
