> What will happen with Python 4? Why not using "full" Python version like (3, 4) or 0x304? I don't think Python 4 is just around the corner, so I prefer to kick that problem down the road. I'm sure we can come up with a sufficiently backwards-compatible API. (I'd prefer not to go the hex route, because printing the value would show as 52, which is pretty meaningless.)
