Return to Python Versions, Python Version History, Python, Python DevOps

Released in December 2001, Python 2.2 introduced major changes that affected the core object model and features of the language.

* PEP 252 and PEP 253 introduced "new-style" classes, which unified the distinction between built-in types and user-defined classes. This change paved the way for greater flexibility and consistency in Python's object-oriented programming model.
* The addition of iterators and generators, solidifying Python's position as a flexible and expressive language for handling streams of data.
* The introduction of the `bool` type, with `True` and `False` constants, which improved code readability and made Boolean logic more intuitive.
