"Python (2.0) applications that are for internal use only and that aren’t exposed to the public Internet could in theory be run indefinitely."

From:

So, IMO, there was absolutely no need to disable Python 2.0 compatibility in Poser 12 and 13 in the first place.

Because last time I checked none of the Python 2.0 scripts that I'm using for decades now had ever any buisiness connecting to the internet, anyway.

(Nor has Poser itself, but that' another story)

;-P

Problems:

- Poser connects to the internet,
- and so does some scripts you can buy here: they phone home each time you launch them
- furthermore: no connected computer is 100% safe
- last but not least: python2 needed a major upgrade (performance, memory management)
