External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on History of Python. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070501105422/http://www.amk.ca/python/writing/gvr-interview to http://www.amk.ca/python/writing/gvr-interview

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

This message was posted before February 2018. After February 2018, "External links modified" talk page sections are no longer generated or monitored by InternetArchiveBot. No special action is required regarding these talk page notices, other than regular verification using the archive tool instructions below. Editors have permission to delete these "External links modified" talk page sections if they want to de-clutter talk pages, but see the RfC before doing mass systematic removals. This message is updated dynamically through the template {{source check}} (last update: 5 June 2024).

If you have discovered URLs which were erroneously considered dead by the bot, you can report them with this tool.
If you found an error with any archives or the URLs themselves, you can fix them with this tool.

Python 1.2, 1.3, 1.4

The release notes don't cite a date. Instead, release dates for these derived from the timestamp of the most recent file in the source code distribution, assuming Pacific time.

Not enough depth

I am missing information about the actual (most important) changes for the different versions, e.g. 3.0 through 3.8. It is largely just a list of version number and dates.

For instance, Ubuntu versions has information about the most important changes for each version.

Growth of “Support” bar graph

What are the future plans for the “Support” bar graph? Specifically, is it supposed to grow indefinitely? As of Python 3.13, it will span 40 years of time with many more versions listed as EOL than as currently supported or future releases. The information is still preserved in the table above, and the graph is titled “Support” (versus “Non-support”); so, for “viewability”, my proposal would be to determine a fixed window of time around the current year to reflect in the bar graph. Given the categories and colorizations available with the Version template and the Python release schedule, my suggestion would be 13-15 years: 7-8 years into the future and 6-7 years into the past (depending on the month selected), e.g. the current range would be something like 2015-01 to 2029-01.
