*minor

:s/major/minor

No, I meant major. Each of the 3.x releases brings in new features, deprecations, and even sometimes removed features. They are all major releases.

Python doesn't go by semver rules. Semver isn't a definition for all software project versioning systems everywhere.

You are factually wrong.

"To clarify terminology, Python uses a major.minor.micro nomenclature for production-ready releases. So for Python 3.1.2 final, that is a major version of 3, a minor version of 1, and a micro version of 2.

* new major versions are exceptional; they only come when strongly incompatible changes are deemed necessary, and are planned very long in advance;

* new minor versions are feature releases; they get released annually, from the current in-development branch;" — https://devguide.python.org/developer-workflow/development-c...

Good point 3.10 != 3.1
