Also, redhat had promised support for a while yet, and I expect spoke to keep it working until they replace with Python 3 (or remove python altogether?)
- shakna 8y ago> Because, it is installed on Macs, as I said. Apple also only supports very ancient set of GNU tools. That doesn't mean that in the majority of cases it is a wise choice to lock yourself to those same outdated tools - especially on a platform that hasn't guaranteed the presence of said tools. > I don't want to have to teach people how to install python 3, when they already have python 2, which is fine. I haven't directly addressed anything to do with your personal choices. However, this thread started with the quote: > no python 2 support means no python support Which frankly, isn't true. Python 2 is about to be EOL'd. > Also, redhat had promised support for a while yet I wouldn't depend upon it being long-term however. RHEL8 drops Python 2, and RHEL 7.5 deprecated it.

- danso 8y agoWho are you teaching to use Python and a bleeding-edge library like the OP's? You're not teaching them how to install Python virtualenvs, or how to install homebrew?
