Python 3 is now officially announced and it apparently is healthy enough to survive eating Snarley's coding.
Quesiton: which additional libraries would you like to see included apart from what we have now in Python 2? (NumPy)
Personally I would like to see:
Did I miss anything?

I would just like pip to work so that I can install libraries as I need them.

@structure: Yes, and that, for my own development work.
My question was primarily on modules a script author can assume installed on any Poser12 install. I do not want having to ask users to play around with PIP before they can use my script.

If pip is installed and working, a script is able to load any required lib automatically with a few additional lines of code.

Just to have it said: Because Poser will come with Python 3.7, I'm done with Poser. I had all my scripts (mostly the non public ones used for business) rewritten to work with Python >= 3.8 for several good reasons. They won't work with 3.7 without changes.
I will start with a Poser/DAZ like interface for Blender soon (easier posing). Makes more sense for me.

... provided the computer is connected to the network and user has admin rights.
I can imagine Poser support will have questions about what can be a potential stability loophole.

A computer without the ability to connect to the internet isn't able to run Poser.
Python 3.8.0 came out a year ago and is rock stable. Current release from october 2020 is 3.9.

What's the feature of 3.8 you've used the most, @adp001? Walrus assignment, or f-strings? I can certainly understand the frustration of upgrading code to find out it's still not supported.
