Their software is running on python 2.6 but they also have it working on 3.7?
Why?
Also this is some weird post, is this blogger famous? Because it's not of much substance.
- tyingq 6y agoThat seems odd to me. If there's any use of bytes, you would have to sprinkle in a lot of dodgy version checks and facades.
- user5994461 6y agoBecause the servers ran on RHEL 6, so the application had to run on python 2.6. Servers will be upgraded to RHEL 7, so the application had to run on python 2.7 too in prevision of the upgrade very soon. Then servers will be upgraded to RHEL 8 maybe 5-10 years later, so the application better work on python 3 too. It is not glamorous but it's the practical way to make critical software work and continue working for some period of time. I think we can all agree that we don't want our banks to break every 3 months accidentally due to the newer release of whatever.
- EdwardDiego 6y ago> Because the servers ran on RHEL 6, so the application had to run on python 2.6. pyenv runs on RHEL 6 yeah? Does Python 3 not?
- detaro 6y agoIs pyenv and the Python 3 it wants to use in official/supported packages? If not, it doesn't exist for many IT departments in such cases.
