> If nobody else has weighed in by tomorrow, I'll backpatch to v10. Works for me. I agree wanting Python 3.12 w/ PG10.latest is far more likely than wanting Python 2.6 or 3.1. If someone lodges a non-academic complaint, we could have back branches fallback to the old way if they detect a Python version needing the old way. I doubt anyone will complain.
