Platform Development • Re: I created a Python 3 port of UXP out of boredom...

finger-wagging distro maintainers and Guido von Rossum's people put their collective feet down and said, "No, you can't use Python 2 anymore even if it's just for a big set of glorified Makefiles, you are going to put in two months of hard work to support our Python 3 vision, or it's either forcing people to hunt down ancient OpenSSL versions to build Python 2 from scratch, hoping people know what Tauthon is, or full-blown Docker containers for your project, and we don't care how that affects you."

Off-topic: And to that behavior I'd personally reply "okay, don't expect for any more mainstream adoption of your GNU/Linuxes, BSDs and whatever unix crap you have then, because here in my Windows 11 I can just easily download an old build environment packaged up into a convenient installer. Come back when you have figured out what universal packaging solution you've all adopted instead of fragmenting yourselves and calling that a "feature". "
