I am an example
I installed all the Pythons on my Windows 10 dev machine (locked into
Windows by having clients) but I'm also locked into Python 3.6.9 on my
Ubuntu 18.04 production machines.
You are not locked into Python 3.6 on Ubuntu: it is quite easy
to compile Python on *nix (this includes Ubuntu 18.04) yourself
(I did so recently for Python 3.9[a5]).
Thank you Dieter - yes I'm aware of that. You need to understand that I
am lazy. I haven't done it before and I was persuaded by a grizzly old
sysadmin that it is much easier to stick with the distro version.
I have actually compiled mod-wsgi before in the days of Python 2.7 so I
do know how brilliantly Linux is set up for software development
compared with Windows.
I will think about it seriously.
Cheers
Mike
