Those doesn't break backwards compatibility though. Naturally you can't use match with a python 3.7 interpreter, but what scripts written for python 3.7 wouldn't work with a 3.11 interpreter?

I haven't encountered that issue before, so I'm curious what those problems OP have encountered looks like.

Huh, ok. I thought something like match = 0 in an old script might break a more recent version.

But you may very well be correct.

match isn't a protected keyword like if is.

match = 0
match match:
    case 0:
        print(0)
    case _:
        print(1)

Is legal and will give print out 0.

Well, today I learned. Thanks for pointing it out.
