![]() More details of your specific use case would be helpful in recommending one. Otherwise, it seems unlikely that the already overloaded release managers and core devs will be able to make this happen, but there are many alternatives (use a still-supported older version, fork it, patch it, add the DLL, pay your vendor to support it, pay a third party to support it, upgrade, etc). ![]() If you’re willing to offer funding to this end, it is possible that this could be arranged. In any case, in order for this to happen, volunteers have to put in the work to develop, package, test and deploy a Python release for an EOL OS that is only (officially) supported for a handful of high-end corporate customers, at considerable cost. Is there a specific use case where your libraries/applications requires a very recent version of Python >=3.9, but you are also stuck on over a decade-old Windows 7 ESU? This seems like a fairly unlikely corner case, and it seems likely that another solution is possible, even if not ideal. More details: it does not run because api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll is missing (see also bugs.python. (It the entire Python Windows code used new Win 8/10 API, then it would be a different story, but here it’s really small).Ĭould the release team publish at least one version (3.9 or 3.10) for Win7? Here the modifications are really, really minor, so it is inconvenient to not support Win7 only because of a few lines of code. ![]() Would there be a way to provide an official python. Problem: installing third-party “hacks” or releases like these is risky in terms of security, it would be better to use a trusted official version. an implementation of api-ms-win-core-path-l1-1-0.dll based on Wine code: /nalexandru/api-ms-win-core-path-HACK on Github (sorry I’m not allowed to post links in my posts). ![]() Many people (even those not using ESU) still use Win7 for some projects (example: computer not connected to any networking, so no security problem if the OS is not supported). ![]() It is somewhat annoying It would be great if it worked on Win7, because even if Win7 is EOL for consumers, Win7 keeps being supported by paid Extended Support Updates (ESU) till 2023 (and one variant till 2024). It is well known that Python 3.9 / 3.10 don’t work with Windows 7. ![]()
