Problem with python based "systems" of any sort is that they break over time without constant maintenance. make from 2000 will still work with makefile from 200

Problem with python based "systems" of any sort is that they break over time without constant maintenance.
make from 2000 will still work with makefile from 2000.
Python script from 2015 will not work today unless you have maintained it over that time.
Every time I try to use any Python script for anything I follow the posted instructions and end up with an error. Something somewhere has changed and the script no longer works...if it ever did, there is no way to know or go back to the working version.
So for me anything more than 10 lines of Python can be considered broken and unmaintainable.
