wheel file for python 3.6 (windows) #110

Closed mgutierrezp closed 1 year ago

mgutierrezp commented 1 year ago
  1. Describe your new request in detail -> could you please add a precompiled wheel for windows environment (x64) and python 3.6?
  2. Give supporting information about tools and operating systems. Give relevant product version numbers

Python 3.6 reached end-of-life almost a year ago (December 2021) and as such it is strongly recommended to upgrade to a newer version of Python.

thanks for the reply. I suspected that. Unfortunately, upgrading python on my environment is not an easy task. Thanks for the prompt reply, though. Regards

If you're wondering why binaries for Python 3.6 are available for Linux, that is solely because these platforms (specifically Red Hat and Oracle) have at least partial ongoing support -- whereas Windows does not. You can, of course, build binaries yourself, but I understand that can be painful on Windows. :-)

...it is in fact :) No worries. Thanks again
