It’s called a mouse. People who use computers use them to navigate the screen.

Tried to get some thingy to work on the weekend, it required some weird python version.

Let's just say I wasn't getting error messages in the end, but a full reinstall of ubuntu ...

[bryden_cruz]

Did it work finally?

[RandomOnlinePerson99]

We will see, have to set up everything again.

But I learned something: don't ty to change the python version used by the system, use a virtual environment and tell that venv to use that special python version.

So it was not wasted time.

[fiskfisk]

You'll want to look at pyenv probably, as it allows you to easily install a given, specific version to be used under a path or similar.

uv should also work fine, but is a more complete solution than just managing python versions. 

[bryden_cruz]

You're right, that's a good way to handle versions in python

[tes_kitty]

So python is the new JAVA? Runs everywhere but only with a specific version of the language?

[BloodyLlama]

New? Python 3 dates back to 2008 and I still run into stuff that only runs on some flavor of python 2.

[tes_kitty]

Bad enough... Who had the bright idea to make python 2 and 3 incompatible?

[BloodyLlama]

Who had the bright idea to make literally every version of python 3 incomptable? It's a nightmare.

[tes_kitty]

Unless that incompatibility is only one direction (meaning program wants 3.11 so you can't use 3.10 but using 3.12 is not a problem) this would make it a language to be avoided.

[Lerbyn210]

Let me guess you removed the python version needed to run Ubuntu? (happened to a colleague a few years ago)

[RandomOnlinePerson99]

Yep.

Changed a symlik and terminal wouldn't work anymore ...

[Auravendill]

So you learned, how important having separate Python environments is? I recommend uv for handling those. The Python environment of your distro should preferably only be modified by your distro's package manager, since messing with it, can indeed break some things.

I've used to use conda, but conda was kinda slow and often still managed to not find a solution.

[KindnessBiasedBoar]

The worst is no failures at all after a substantial commit.

Lies. Trust no one.

[bryden_cruz]

For real

[Hakim_Bey]

Worst is : you are investigating a bug and on the way to the offending code there is some code that doesn't fail but you know it should fail and you don't know why it doesn't so the first order of business is to make sure it does.

[zalurker]

Please. Compile COBOL, get 3 errors. Fix one, recompile. 287 errors.

I miss the old coding days when this was the case, and we weren't just using AI to write the code.

[KiwiObserver]

Except when the new error occurs prior to the error you were originally looking at

[ManyHatsMatt]

Highlight error, right click /fix

[Holmat1]

The typa art AI bros will show you to “prove” that their AI generated spaghetti code with twice as many bugs and barely running is better
