How's that useful? Isn't that preventing to ever switch back?
Sure if we used containers like they were designed, we'd just throw it away and create a new one. But if we used containers like they were designed, and not as a drop in replacement for vm's, we wouldn't have this script in the first place.
As long as there are no container images for other python versions (3.10, 3.11, 3.12, ...) this is the only possibility to use a different version right now. |
I guess, that's why we keep the script around for now. |
|
BTW: What happens if you used the oci-env with a python 3.8 container base image? |
Nothing, but you wouldn't be able to specify using python 3.9. |
That's technically a regression. But it's a dev tool and they should be able to handle it. |
With the oci_env now using the new centos9 images, the default python version is now 3.9.
Note We can now publish other python version oci-images, but we haven't done so yet.
