@hwine@vmst.io @slott56@fosstodon.org i think that is just wrong, i think the interpreter should be stable and not externalize these costs or technical debt on the users. distros are the right way to do it. can you explain me why the modules in `lib/python3.x` cannot be reused over versions? what would break between v3.12 and v3.13 for example? would py, pyc, or .so files break? did the python c api change in a breaking way? and if so why cannot this be done in a gracefully degrading way?

@stf@chaos.social @hwine@vmst.io part of the answer is the underlying libraries and some of the python code is specific to the version.
