Does that mean that a point release of Python has breaking changes? If true, that sounds crazy.

Yes, every Python 3 release for me (at least since 3.6) has had a breaking change or two that affects a library I use. Most of the time, the fix is pretty trivial, but not always.

Yes, things like format string syntax change between 3.10 and 3.11 and it’s incredibly frustrating
