And I have multiple software projects that run with no modifications needed on both Python 2.6 and Python 3.11, exact same source is executed on both.

So what's your point?

When were your projects last modified? THAT is the point.

If your Python 2.6 source was written before 2.7 was released, and still works fine on 3, then great. If you had to modify the source to work with 3, then *you* have clearly missed the point. It's not clear from what you say which is the case.

Unfortunately, I have a python utility that was written for (and runs fine on) 2.7. It crashes on - I guess 3.8? 3.9? I'm not sure which one was current when I tried it.

It's someone else's source, I don't "do" Python, so I can't ditch 2.7 until someone else fixes it for me ...
