Any reason you fully removed the first sentence? I'd like to make it more explicit that the fact that all these new things were added to recent versions doesn't mean you can't use them in older versions.

Oh, I read the rephrasing and felt that it covered the important points from both sentences so I thought that the intention was to have only the rephrased sentence, but it seems that I misunderstood what you meant. Is the following what was intended -

Edit: I realized I missed your first comment about the versions of Python - updated the text above, based on that
