@hwine@vmst.io @slott56@fosstodon.org how about instead of externalising this cost on on thousands of users, just providing a stable lts python that is not requiring all this useless upgrade cycle for nothing?

@stf@chaos.social @slott56@fosstodon.org that's why modern recommendations are to not depend on the system Python, and code to a version you install and control the update cycle of. The newer tooling makes that easy -- if the app is following the conventions. Once your app is using a user installed Python, you never have to update again (which may be fine for a personal app) Depending on the packages you're depending upon, version pinning may help alleviate surprises.
