Sorry if this sounds like a rant - but I think the underlying causes of the pain your user is having are real and due to python changing the language in incompatible ways.
I keep seeing this idea in this thread and I really feel that someone has to stick up for Python. I have been using Python for many years and other than moving from 1.x to 2.x and now 2.x to 3.x I have never found this to be true. Even the 2.x to 3.x has a reasonable upgrade path. What are these gross incompatibilities that everyone here is talking about? I am sure there are some minor issues from time to time that I haven't personally tripped over but as someone who is forced to maintain a PHP installation I find Python virtually seamless to upgrade. -- D'Arcy J.M.
