Sorry? The whole point is to have both versions at the same time.
Correct. I'm sorry that I failed to make that more clear. We need - and I would argue many developers working on Python would need - 3.9 and 3.10 (and future versions) installed side-by-side, same server, same time. Interestingly that IS the case for python 2.7 and python 3.6. I have a machine with 2.7, 3.6, and 3.9 all installed together. So I cannot see any reason why 3.10 should not also work.
Sorry, but it does not explain *why* python39 must be removed and what prevents both versions to coexist. Sounds like a pure management decision.
Apologies if I am treading in areas I should not, but this does make me wonder: If this is in fact a management decision, is it possible to reach those managers and ask them to reconsider/change this? Glen
