RE: Couldn't install numpy on Python 2.7

Change is hard even when it may be necessary.

The argument often is about whether some things are necessary or not.

Python made a decision but clearly not a unanimous one.

My current PC was not upgradable because of the new hardware requirement
Microsoft decided was needed for Windows 11. I bought a new one a while back
and turned it on in another room and then set it aside because replacing the
current one in the current position will be a pain, especially with getting
all my wires and so on, and since I do not want to use a full copy of my
data including many obsolete things, that will be another pain to get what I
need, if I can remember. Complicating issues also include licenses for
things in fixed amounts and the likelihood of messing up the
hardware/software I have that records shows from cable to my hard disk,
possibly needing to buy a new one.

I mention this in the context of examples of why even people who are fairly
knowledgeable do not feel much need to fix what does not feel broken.

I have wondered if instead of doing what Microsoft wants, if maybe switching
to Linux of some kinds makes as much sense. I suspect some may simply
upgrade to an Apple product.

And think of all the PC's that may effectively be discarded as they may not
even be usable if donated.

We live in a rapidly developing age and hence one with regularly and
irregularly scheduled rounds of obsolescence.

When is Python 4 coming?

It seems Microsoft is having a problem where something lik 2/3 of Windows
users have not upgraded from Windows 10 after many years and have set a
deadline in a year or so for stopping updates. In that case, hardware was

a

concern for some as Windows 11 did not work on their machines. With
upgrading python, the main concern is having to get someone to examine old
code and try to make it compatible.
 

In the case of Windows, my PC is over 10 years old yet performs
perfectly well for my needs. It can't run Windows 11. Therefore, I'm in
the process of migrating to Linux, and I still have over a year to
achieve that before support ends.

But anyone doing new code in Python 2 in recent years should ...
 

Indeed...

Any clues?

 
Why are you using Python 2? Come on, it's been 16 years. Ya gotta move
on at some point.
