Is there something similar for Python? They are releasing new Python standards with a crazy fast speed. Would be really helpful for me.

- moffkalast 5y agoIt would sure be helpful if they took some effort to focus less on adding crazy new stuff every 2 days and instead on maintaining older versions for a change. Maintaining a python dependant system these days is an absolute nightmare, at least with C++ you know that new compilers will be backwards compatible, gah.
- afandian 5y agoHow does this feel with Python being dynamic? I always felt very uneasy writing Python precisely because if some random module became incompatible, especially via a transitive depndency, I might not find out until it was running in production.
- aldanor 5y agoWhat's to be uneasy about? Lock your environments, pin your dependencies, especially in production.
- moffkalast 5y agoUntil your LTS OS gets to end of life and you need to switch to the next one which conveniently deprecates old python versions so you have to rewrite everything.
- aldanor 5y agoWhy use system Python base environment for production stuff, especially knowing that it will EOL eventually and mayhem may follow? Again, pin your environments using conda, pipenv or whatever else, in which case your base Python version wouldn't matter.
- moffkalast 5y agoWell if you're using ROS, you get to choose between the two extremes of C++ or Python. It would be great if everything was in C++ to be sure, but ain't nobody got time for that, especially not the cheap results-quickly company I work at.
