Hey everyone,
I've been trying to run Python 3.9 on a Windows 7 system, and I'm encountering some challenges. I know it's a bit dated, but upgrading the OS isn't an option for me right now. I'm aware that Microsoft stopped supporting Windows 7, and I'm concerned about compatibility issues, specifically with the newer versions of Python.
Here's what I've tried so far:
- Downloaded and installed Python 3.9 from the official site.
- Verified the installation path is added to the system PATH variable.
- Ensured my system has the necessary updates and service packs.
Despite this, some Python packages are not installing correctly due to dependency issues or lack of support for certain features on Windows 7. I'm curious if anyone else has managed to get Python 3.9 working smoothly on Windows 7 and if there are specific steps or workarounds I should consider.
Would it be more feasible to stick with an older version of Python that's guaranteed to work seamlessly with Windows 7, or are there ways to get 3.9 to cooperate?
Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
