We should be really careful about this.
Recently, I have been programming a couple of Raspberry Pies. Euphoria and EuGTK work on them, but I wanted to try some already-written programs (written in Python).
Should be easy, right?
Nope - missing this , missing that, difficult to find any mention on the internet, incompatible with current Python when you do find it.
Somehow, Python doesn't seem so great after that experience.
I consider myself a beginner at Python, so isn't that the same experience other beginners would have?
We need to avoid that sort of thing happening. With Eu 3, Eu 3 programs work. With Eu 4, Eu 4 programs work. All the needed includes come with the respective install.
If Eu 4 has bugs, and no one fixes it, it's much better to publish a patch or warning about that bug than to fragment and fork a version which - as we all know, is unlikely to be maintained.
