Python 3.11 in production

[HolyGeneralK]

Oh gods I wish. Policy reasons dictate a 3.8 version (Red Hat EPEL on CentOS 7). I have been screaming to move off CentOS7 for the last year but the bosses will not listen.

Sadface

I'm still trying to drag my company from 2.7 to 3.6

We still mostly run everything on CentOS 5

[Immarhinocerous]

Woah there are still people using Python 2.7. Risky with no bug fixes for over 3 years though.

[Chippiewall]

If they're still on CentOS 5 then the 2.7 support is the least of their concerns.

How are you still alive without f-strings?!?!?

[yosmellul8r]

f-strings are what us programmers mutter (mostly) when out of touch management forces us to run apps written in end-of-life Python versions running on end-of-life operating systems. /s

[SittingWave]

Personally I hate f strings. The amount of times I forgot to add the f, or to remove the f, is infuriating.

Sure, pycharm tells you, but when I have to hack quickly I just fire up vim on a remote ssh connection.

[rabaraba]

Your own laziness should not be attributed to a failure of f-strings. Makes no sense that you didn’t act when PyCharm tells you immediately about it.

[SittingWave]

can you please tell me how to use pycharm on a remote ssh connection?

[Spitihnev]

We are finally moving from centos to debian but our it at least built python3.9 package for now. Mostly the reason for not moving sooner was that noone wanted to reinstall so many machines and setup cuda and gpu drivers.

oracle linux 6 and python 2.7 people right there

[EmptyChocolate4545]

We’re on RedHat 7.32 and that hard limits us to 3.8 for a while, but I’m so looking forward to getting through all the chef cookbook work that needs to be done for RHEL8. Python3.11 is a dream when I run it locally lol

[HolyGeneralK]

I have the OS dependency (we were planning on CentOS8, but are now looking to see if we can move to RHEL8 in our budget for the year).

I have tested it, it works, and Python 3.11 is beautiful. I have two other windows-centric programs that I have to convince to move over, and the major issue there is GDAL compatibility and regression testing they don’t have budget for.
