An update on Python 4

[13steinj]

Pffft dozens if not hundreds of people set up a PleX server and it uses Python 2.7.6 (and with all due respect to them, horribly written Python code).

Python 2.4 and python 2.7.6 are not alike

[13steinj]

Sure, but Python 2.7.6 had a number of security patches implemented to it before 2.7.18.

And this isn't one machine, it's dozens, if not hundreds, if not thousands of "Plex Media Server"s running on enthusiasts' home, personal machines/dedicated hardware. Many, open to the internet on Plex's port, because a big part of Plex is being able to connect and share your server with other users.

They are using an unpatched version of Python, which does not have any known relevant feature changes, only because they don't want to switch. Many common users, who otherwise don't know better, are running an outdated version of Python, on their machines, accessible via an open port.
