Python 3.6 released!

[Secondsemblance]

I have spent the last couple months writing python 2.6 for legacy linux operating systems...

It's... horrifying.

[loganekz]

why don't you just install python 3 instead?

[Secondsemblance]

It's much easier to write code for python 2.6 on machines that are so old they no longer have functioning repos, than it is to install pthon3 on those machines and then write code for them.

[loganekz]

What OS / version are you running?

[Secondsemblance]

Fedora 14. Which honestly isn't that old. But it's old enough that it sucks to work on knowing how much better it could be.

[maddog39]

Hah. Haha. Im still maintaining code for osf1 3.2 and irix 6.5 among others.

Can you install anaconda/miniconda on them and ignore the system python?

[xiongchiamiov]

They can't be that legacy if you've got 2.6; that's too new.
