Hi Allison,
just a small correction: Python 2.7 is 9 years old, and at the time of
release was described as "the last major version in the 2.x series". The
author of Python requested that developers move from Python 2 to Python 3
in 2014.
I'll be happy to hear about it if you get the software running under Python
2.7. :-)

N9KDY,
The last thing I need is yet another PC. If I really wanted one I'd get a
NEW one
that can take linux direct (dell has a few) as it saves deinstalling the
other cruft.
The sloggy machine runs it well enough, its the actual name of the
machine
as in "allison@sloggy ~$". Its actually a Asus dual core 1.6ghz machine
with
SSD. Its performance with Unbuntu 18.4 is decent. Not a racer but for
interpreted python its fine. I needed that version to get the Python 3.7
as
guess what, a new version of Python on the horizon.
So yes Python 2.7 is old nearly three years old! At the rate its going
3.7 will
old in a year and 3.8 is now the current version. See a pattern.
However
that can be avoided by writing code that is less dependent on the latest
and greatest belles and whistles.
In the mean time I will get the code running under 2.7, right now it
complains
a bit but nothing seem horrific.
So yes a lot of people telling people what they should do.
