Is code written today likely to | still work in 5+ years or do they depreciate stuff and you have to update? Most versions of Python are still available. You are free to use and distribute your copies indefinitely. Several older versions are still in use. Recent releases have added features but removed very little except bugs. Unfortunately, bug removal sometimes breaks code. And feature additions occasionally introduce bugs or otherwise break code, but that is why there are alpha, beta, and candidate releases before a final release. Python3 will remove many things at once. A conversion tool is being written. And there is no expectation that production code should be immediately converted, if ever.
