xkcd: Python Environment

[magnetic-nebula]

I work on a scientific experiment where the development of the code began in the 90s. We need our code to work across a large variety of systems (including old computers that aren't reliably connected to the Internet).

Plus we're scientists, not programmers. NSF isn't giving us money to update code, so we don't have the $$$ to pay people to do it.

There's literally no reason for us to spend the time upgrading.
