[reportlab-users] platform ability

We're using ReportLab on Python 2.6 for a small application, but if we should ever change anything there, we'll switch to Python 3.6 or newer.

Besides, the rest of our commercial or internal Python software (not using ReportLab) is using Python 2.7, 3.5 or 3.6, for new projects I always use 3.6.
32bit is more or less dead in the windows world, anyway, because printing is not working well from 32bit processes on a 64bit Windows OS (only _one_ 32bit process can use the printing subsystem!).
OTOH, one still needs 32 bit for using MAPI (communicating with Outlook).
On other operating systems, we always use 64bit Python.

To summarize:
32bit Python is still needed on Windows as long as a lot of MS Office installations are 32bit, otherwise 64bit only is fine.
Python 2.7+ and 3.6+ is fine.

I would like to know which python versions and architectures are being used.

Python 3.3 has reached end of life for the python community and python 3.7 is about to appear. I think our plan is to use 2.7.x+3.4.x-3.6.x and add on 3.7 when that appears.

However, there are a number of other dimensions; do windows users use 32 bits any more and perhaps manylinux1 is going to become manylinuxN for N a date/ or number 2 etc  etc.

Hi Robin,

We're using reportlab on python 3.4.3, 32-bit.

Hi,

Currently Python 2.7 on debian GNU/Linux 9, 64bit in production environments.
In the future (2020+) definitely Python 3.x and maybe even PyPy.

Python 2.7 32-bit because ESRI (ArcGIS Desktop) still use it.
