Correct, what I was trying to say is code bases all over the world that run on
previous versions will start seeing this when they import a third party
dependency that uses this "syntatic sugar":
>>> print "This doesn't work before 3.10"
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("This
doesn't work before 3.10")?
