But python isn't the webs scripting engine. If it was, browsers would have support for python3 and 2.

I mean, maybe? I don't know, I don't live in that mirror universe where python supplanted JS. Though considering how hard the push was to abandon and burn down python2, I have a feeling even if it was a web scripting language the same push would've happened and it would've just broken a lot more stuff since you know "sECuRiTY".

I mean, looking at what python3 broke, they are some changes that were well needed. https://docs.python.org/release/3.0.1/whatsnew/3.0.html

I think it would be like xhtml, which broke compatibility with old versions of html, but was (and still is) supported by browsers.
