Oh, what bliss it must be to run on a system that hasn't been declared a pariah by everyone and his dog. (But yet it covers all the essential bases quite nicely.) I tried ensurepip, but it also wants to install a recent version of Visual something-or-other, and it breaks and dies when it can't. So pipless I will be for the near term. Pip may be pure Python, but it seems everything that wants to do anything with pip wants a recent version of Visual something-or-other to do it with. I am planning to build recordclass by hand, as you outlined, after I finish the pure namedtuples Excel sheet conversion I'm working on, and a tkinter display with postgre permanent data storage for it. The only reason building recordclass by hand might fail is if a file or files needs to be dropped somewhere that I can't anticipate or figure out. But I'd like to see what recordclass can do, I just need this one spreadsheet's worth of code working asap first, with as little fuss as possible.
