A problem with the long lifetime of #Python releases is that even though I work with 3.10, I still need to code for the features that were around in 3.7 because the platform my software runs on still uses 3.7. I wish #Linux distros were better at backporting new Python releases. Yes, I'm looking at you, #Ubunut LTS.
@veronica webby not try something like pyenv?
@smasters The Windows release is bundled with 3.10, and I just manipulate the launch to use the bundled python exe. The nice thing about Linux is that the three dependencies I have are all available in any distro, so it's a very easy app to package for Linux. It's just annoying that even LTS releases stick on deprecated Python versions. Ubuntu 18.04 is still on 3.6.
