As a Perl user (and certainly no expert) I am slowly learning Python, and liking it. I will probably keep perl for text and file processing, but I want to expand my horizons into data and web management, which is clearly Python's forte from what I have seen so far. (Web scraping with only a few lines of code? Freaking astounding! )
That said, I am unfamiliar with some of the more fundamental aspects, usually not mentioned or explained well in the Python texts and videos I have seen.
Particularly package and version management.
Here I have Debian with both Python 3.7 and 2.7 installed. For py2 scripts I just use #!/usr/bin/python2 and likelwise /python3 headers in scripts. All seems well. Is there any reason I would need pyrenv (which appears to be a sandbox)?
Will Python3.5 and 3.6 scripts (and modules)run under 3.7. Can I convert them to? Are there any faqs for replacing version requirements on packages/scripts in the 3.x series to make them run on 3.7?
I ask this because on Win I have a rather large Python 3.5 install and would like to use its modules on 3.7(Anaconda).
Also I am unfamiliar with the /Wheel and /HTTP directories in the User profiles. As a Perl user I see these as just a variation of the useless CPAN/Build directory which cpan purges periodically.
Also I reallly dislike the hex obfuscation, and was wondering if there was a way to get rid of it (I can if necessary script something to symlink package names to the base directory) - but this would not work on /HTTP dir.
I have made a similar inquiry and another thread, which was summarily ignored. Are these questions excruciatingly stoopid???
Cannot seem to edit. Above "Will Perl3.5 and 3.6 scripts" shoulkd, of course be PYTHON instead.
