It’s such a horrible idea to delete the dot here. 38 is a valid major version.

Whoever made that decision deserves that Python switches to a Firefox versioning scheme and just releases a new major version every 6 weeks.

Things like .cpython-38.pyc aren’t a problem because once Python 10 hits, the spec can just be changed to .cpython-10-0.pyc or so.

Virtualenv accepts 3 as a valid argument so 38 should mean 38.x
