Given the cost of an 8k I seriously doubt it will be worth it no matter       how many stars it can render. Besides you'll be no closer than you are with       4k given the 'infinite' number of them in comparison.               BP> i just currently fiddle with python versions, now 3.11 is std,        BP> and all old versions dependice need to go              So far all I have that requires python2 is seamonkey. Everything else has       either been abandoned or hacked where needed, although at the moment I can       only think of one app that requires messing with the version (gpsd) and I       don't actually use it that much, mostly testing ideas. I can live without it.               :r !python --version       Python 2.7.18               :r !python3 --version       Python 3.11.3              As far as I am personally concerned, I see no need for either. Near as I can       tell it's a hacking tool for Windows types. Also none of the fidonet stuff       requires any version of python that I am aware of. I have seen at least one       BBS that is python based but haven't heard about it in around a decade now.              What do you use python for?              Life is good,       Maurice               o- -o -o -o -o -o o- -o o- o- o- -o -o o- o- -o       /) (\ (\ (\ (\ (\ /) (\ /) /) /) (\ (\ /) /) (\       ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^ ^^       ...
