Fortunately we have tools like Docker and to a lesser extent Python Virtual Environments to help deal with this in a sane way.
But yeah for 1 off zero dependency Python scripts I won't be using the new features until major distros ship with 3.10 by default. Part of the appeal to me of Python is most distros and operating systems have it installed by default. Being able to curl down a single file and run it is really nice. For that to work requires using a version of Python that most folks have by default. That means coding against 3.6's features (at least we can use f-strings now!).
- Already__Taken 6y agoI haven't found this much use because you still can't assume the default version really and pip seems to be broken all the time by default.
