I'm currently working on a new project using Python 2.6. You see, I'm creating an analysis tool that absolutely must run on an old, isolated (no internet connection) RedHat system, and have access to only a very limited number of packages I can install. Which, in my case, means Python 2.6, fairly old versions of NumPy and SciPy, and Tk for the GUI.
This is actually my first significant project in Python, so naturally I wanted to use the latest and greatest (learning opportunity and all), but no such luck.
- mappu 12y agoI've never quite been convinced by this argument. If you can deploy and run .py files, surely you could deploy and run a local copy of python3? It's not like it needs root. The target system not having an internet connection is a best-case for a local python3 package, since the lower attack surface makes package security updates less urgent.
