Uh, right, I was being employer-biased here, sorry. > But is that really what we want to tell people ? Why not? python.org does not provide official binaries for Linux or Unix systems (except OS X), and most people don't like compile their infrastructure themselves. People who want an up-to-date Python can either use: - use the python.org binaries on OS X and Windows - use a recent OS providing a recent Python version (for Linux and Unix variants) - use a vendor-supported backport on old OSes (if so provided, for example on RedHat with Software Collections?) - use a third party-supported backport on old OSes (ActivePython, eGenix PyRun, etc.) - as a last resort, hand-compile their Python, in which case they have to be careful to gather the required dependencies Regards Antoine. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
