Why would you worry about that for Python? The community learned their lesson. I'd worry more about other language maintainers who haven't had the learning experience.
- Shared404 6y agoBecause with Python the possibility is still there. With C/Rust/Go, it's simple to statically compile and remove the possibility of that type of issue. It's not a program that will be running on a server, so I'm not really concerned about security fixes/updates to libraries.
- xapata 6y agoUh, just use the old interpreter. Same situation.
- Shared404 6y agoAnd then the distro they are using stops shipping Python 3 by default because "No one should be using that anymore.". While I could bundle python with the program, that's getting to be more hassle then it really seems like it's worth. In addition, I'm not particularly comfortable with configuring python, so there's a non negligible chance I'd screw that up and be in the same position. It's not that it's impossible for Python to work in this situation, it's that me doing it is a bad idea. I'm sorry if my original comment implied otherwise.
