i'd like to run other, older, versions of Python to test code that is intended to be version agnostic so that it is known how wide a range of Python versions it can run on, and allow testing code changes to increase that range.
it might be a good idea to create virtual machines for each version so each can have just one and only one version of Python.
i am doing all this with Linux. to the extent the chosen distro is independent of the version of Python, that would be among the choices. i think Ubuntu is this way. i know Slackware is since it uses no Python in its system code. so i might be doing this with Ubuntu or Slackware.
i don't use Windows and do not even have a copy of it. if it turns out i want to run tests under Windows, i'll probably run short term cloud instances on AWS or Azure.
at this point, i am curious if anyone has tried running various versions of Python different than what is normally available to you on the system you run Python on.
