If it just required doing "pip install" then I'd try it to see how fast my test suite runs. But since it only works with Python 3.10 and .NET 6, realistically even just spending five minutes messing with it will require first waiting 18 months or whatever.
- jitl 5y agoSeems like it would take no more than 5 minutes to download and untar the listed dependencies, though. I don’t understand this attitude about experimentation.

- IanCal 5y agoYou can even neatly do it in a docker container that you throw away after if you don't want to mess up anything locally.
- ensiferum 5y agoHaha that's the rabbit hole. Two weeks later you're compiling your own kernel from sources just to be able to get that specific version of libc so that you can get libfoo working so that you can get libbar working so that you can get... You get the idea.
- corrigible 5y agobeen there, done that, got the tshirt and worthless equity ;) these days, just spin up some disposable container/vm and tinker...
- chrisseaton 5y ago> waiting 18 months or whatever Seems like a problem with however your system distributes software, not with Pyjion. What does it take 18 months to do?
- Alex3917 5y agoWell for one I can't run Python 3.10 in production because I use AWS Elastic Beanstalk, which currently only supports 3.8. And my development environment is Ubuntu, which also doesn't support it out of the box. So short of scheduling two weeks to retool both my production and local development environments, which I'm not going to do because it would be a complete waste of time, there is zero benefit to me to even looking into this.
- chrisseaton 5y agoRight, but those are you-problems. You use a way to get dependencies that's very slow. That's not a Pyjion problem.
- Alex3917 5y ago> That's not a Pyjion problem. I wasn't criticizing Pyjion, I was responding to coldtea's comment saying that people who can't run this in production would likely not be interested in trying it. I have zero issue with Pyjion, and I'm also happy with my production setup as is.
- coldtea 5y ago>Well for one I can't run Python 3.10 in production because I use AWS Elastic Beanstalk And why wouldn't you want to try this in production in the first place?
- wumpus 5y agoCheck out pyenv, you can run whatever versions of python you want to without messing with the system or other virtualenvs.
