there's still a chance that you'll be stuck with the just-before-latest-stable version.

Is that so bad? Does python really change that much from release to release?



Not entirely, but if your reason to using a non-LTS is to get the latest versions of your stack, then you've just made a really bad choice. As I've said, you're either giving up security updates or are left to test and upgrade your entire system every ~two years in exchange for no guarantee you're on the latest of anything. That tradeoff doesn't make sense no matter what way you look at it.


You don't really want to be on anything earlier than 2.7 right now.


Well, depending on your program.
