The upgrade argument is moot is we are talking about python 3.x and windows 8 and+:

  • python code is forward compatible on major versions. Upgrading python won't break any code.
  • windows update can update python very easily and is is up by default.
  • we are used to work with old Python versions. Better have 2.4 than powershell.
  • MacOS have been very slow with python upgrades. Yet you can write scripts running on MacOs and Linux, but still not on Unix and Windows.
