The seventh patch caused the score to drop by 0.23 from the previous

grasping it?

Quite a few, I imagine. The python.org folks insisted on making Python 2 significantly incompatible with Python 3, and that's the result. Personally, I don't write any *new* Python code that's incompatible with Python 3 (or Python 2), but I still have a substantial amount of Python 2 code where I haven't spent the considerable effort to convert it to compatibility with Python 3. I'm sure I'm not alone.

I'm not sure which will become truly obsolete first - Python 2.7 or IPv4.
