More fool them; XP is still (unfortunately) heavily used in workplaces and in Universities. Luckily, Windows, unlike Linux, is largely backwards compatible - it's rare to find a program which won't run on XP if it can run on Vista+, unless it's a game that relies on DX11 or something. > 3.

dear people! I have just opened my MTU client, and figured out that through my comment, i caused a complete NONSENSE discussion at all. 1. I am not a zealot or whatever. I code on Linux and port it on MAC and WINDOWS. I do write solutions for customers across the whole 3 platform, and mostly I succeed because I have to figure out in advance which software (packages) are being supported and how far. 2. There are many open source projects out (don't ask where, look for yourself, you are old enough!) as well commercial software vendors who don't offer their products, or give support for Windows XP. 3. All of you know, that windows xp is by Microsoft not anymore supported. Neither with Security Updated, Enhancements with Software, SDK or whatever. and not only XP, also Win95,98,ME, and 2000 Professional (not the server editions). 4. Of course any OS has it's advantages and disadvantages. Gentoo is a rolling distribution, when it's set up it works nicely. Of course, you have to invest a lot of effort to get in what doesn't mean that Debian and Ubuntu, and the others are worse. Those who want to get packages maintained by others and love to get the System to run quickly is very good with the other distributions, and coding on those platforms make fun too. >From my personal point of view, I will never set up a gentoo machine as a server in a datacenter, I would rather use BSD Unix.

The Original Poster was attempting to build lxml binaries under XP. Apparently this is difficult enough that the best answer anyone can give is "download some pre-built binary from some guy on the Internet, and hope it is up to date and works". (I'm paraphrasing from memory.) It isn't clear to me whether the OP doesn't give a monkey's toss where the binaries come from so long as they get installed, or whether he is hoping to build them himself (for fun, for education, because he doesn't trust some guy on the Internet). If the second case, then "download binaries" is no more helpful than "INSTALL LINUX!!!" would be. > [snippety snippety to the rest of your straw men] I really get frustrated by people who use "straw man" as a meaningless term of abuse for any argument they don't like or disagree with. "Straw man argument" has a specific meaning, and it doesn't apply to what I wrote: I did not attack a weakened or extreme version of your argument, but made a complaint about the double standards in accusations of "zealotry". If you want to accuse me of anything, it is use of weasel words like "some Windows users" [citation required]. But not straw man. >> That may be true, but the advice remains reasonable advice.

Perhaps. It depends on how important the task is, and how much friction is there. If the task is important enough, and the friction great enough, then it isn't ridiculous at all. My wife ditched KDE 4 as her desktop due to a single point of friction: the inability to get Bluetooth working correctly. > And believe me, _no_ user of > Windows' Python would ever make the mistake of thinking they were the > centre of _that_ world.

On the contrary, it prevents the symptoms of the problem, which very often is good enough, or even the best that can be done. Look, I'm not and never did defend the *specific* argument that upgrading to Windows 7 or cross-grading to Gentoo Linux was the right solution for the failure to compile lxml under Windows XP. I've never tried to compile lxml at all, and for all I know, it might be *more difficult* under Linux than Windows. (Stranger things have happened.)

[...] > In what way is downloading pre-built binaries and then installing lxml > on Windows like driving across the ocean? Note the two sides to this problem. On the one side, there is a Windows user who is unable to easy_install lxml because the latest binaries are not on PyPI. It's an obvious first reaction to blame the project for not putting them there. On the other side, there's the lxml project which can't currently produce binaries due to the lack of a proper maintainer who has a legal and properly configured copy of that commercial operating system installed. It's an obvious first reaction to blame the Windows user who is unable to configure his/her own system to properly build lxml there. Who's to blame here? Personally, I think that solving the problem on the second side is much closer to actually driving across the ocean, whereas the first side sounds more like it's recommending it. But I guess that's just because I *am* on the second side. Now, you are saying that this problem is easily solved by downloading binary packages from an unknown third-party source and installing them on your machine. I've already seen requests to upload those specific binaries to PyPI a couple of times. This appears to be a normal way of thinking specifically amongst many Windows users, simply because this system trains them to download opaque binary software packages from arbitrary external sources in order to install them manually and use them. Coming from a Linux angle, where signed and trusted software has been the normal case for more than a decade now, so much that an attempt to install unsigned or untrusted software actually leads to a clear warning, I cannot see this as a reasonable recommendation. It may well be that Christoph Gohlke is generally trustworthy enough to install the software he builds in a given user setting. However, presenting this as the ultimate solution to any software installation problems is clear zealotry in my eyes, because it ignores the fact that software from unknown third-party sources may simply not be a valid alternative in a given setting, e.g. on a company computer. As usual, it's not all that easy, but IMHO, recommending to use Linux isn't that much worse than recommending to install untrusted binary software.

I agree with what you posted. If there was a single bad thing I would point out to anyone about the Python community, it would be that there are a huge amount of "freetards" - people who believe that Linux is the only way, or that Linux is the best way. Protip: It's not the only way, and it's not always the best way. Use what works for you. If Windows works for you, great. Same applies to every OS. It's not then unreasonable to ask others for support for that OS - they may not have the ability to provide support, but it's always good to ask. If you have no choice in the matter, sucks to be you, but live with it. Worse things have happened than having to use Windows XP, as much as I *personally* dislike XP. Claiming that x OS is best, and that every other OS is rubbish is insane. Different operating systems do things differently, and are therefore suited for different tasks and for different people. Suggesting to someone that doing a task is easier on a different OS - "Yeah, I can't help you but I might I suggest you do Python development on Linux - these sort of problems are much easier to handle when you have a package manager system and Linux distros have awesome Python support" is fine and perfectly sensible - "USE LINUX OMFG!111!! YOU'RE SO LAME, WINDOZE SUCKS OMFG YOU N00B! I'M SO COOL USE MY HARDCORE GENTOO INSTALL THAT TOOK 36 HOURS AND SHAVED 2 SECONDS OFF MY BOOTUP TIME! LOOK AT THE SPINY COMPIZ CUBE! I DON'T KNOW WHAT I DID BEFORE I COULD MAKE MY DESKTOP CUBE-Y!", as in the post you referred to, is not. I see this kind of nonsense everywhere, but it tends to be in the Linux and Apple community more - I've no idea why, probably has something to do with being a minority. For reference, I am a Linux developer who uses Windows, Linux, *BSD and OS X, each in a place where it's suitable. tl;dr - Use what works for you.

If I ask how to install (say) MYOB or Photoshop on Linux, and people tell me that I will have to use Windows if I want to easily run that software, I don't accuse them of being a zealot. I've had Quicken tell me that Quickbooks can only store its data files on a Windows file server. The fact that I've been successfully running it in a VM with the data files stored on a Samba file share without any problems proves them wrong, but if I accused Quicken technical support of being "zealots" I'd be considered a loon.

That may be true, but the advice remains reasonable advice. If somebody asks you how to get from Iceland to Norway by car, it is perfectly reasonable to tell them that they will find it much easier to use a plane or boat. The existence of people who, for whatever reason, can't or won't use a plane or boat doesn't change the fact that using a car will be extremely difficult, if not impossible. Some Windows users are so used to being the centre of the computing universe that any time they hit a problem that is easier to solve on another OS, and people dare remind them of that fact, they get their nose out of joint. If your OS does everything you need it to do, great. I personally am happy running Windows Server 2000 for my needs, and don't need any Windows software that doesn't run on it. But my sympathies go out to those who are stuck (for whatever reason) on an OS (of any flavour) that doesn't do what they want.
