That's the theory, but don't forget the time you spend upgrading Python because some dependency needs it, but some other part isn't compatible with the new version so you spend an hour on Google trying to sort that out.

Or the time you spend trying to debug some basic functionality you've written 20 times before because it isn't quite working with everything else for some reason...



That is true, but, equally, you are underestimating the time you spend trying toi do something that your no-code framework can't do, and the extra cost of working with it.


Is there even a way to update Python on Windows? I haven't figured out any way other than duplicate installs, a bunch of manual copy/paste/extract of older packages, and hoping for the best.


WSL(2) and pyenv?

;-)
