They can still be built in a suitable build environment (which is easy eg. with a container, and it is trivially easy to install a python 3.7 environment on a current linux, using precompiled binaries, without impacting the systems current python version, thanks to `pyenv`
pyenv install 3.7.17
In fact I could install all the way down to 3.0.1 if I wanted (and ofc Python2 versions).
- crabbone 3y agoThat's like saying that Mac Lisp still works because you can put soldering iron to work and resurrect on of the two remaining Lambdas in existence. The whole point of what I said is that it doesn't work on modern systems. If you emulate old systems where it worked, then it's a nobrainer that it will work. Like, what are you even trying to prove with this?
