    Never programmed in Python, but, as the admin of a few servers
during a decade, I kinda understood that successive Python versions in
Debian were all incompatible and applications needed to be changed with
every release.

    Are you meaning that Python is a Windows thingy?  That would be a
pitty, considering in the University I was last, this was the language
taught to students.
