I'll make assertions if I feel like it, especially in response to bare assertions. System-provided Python has tended to be a disaster and best kept at bargepole-distance. But regardless, in this specific case you'll note that the OP is clearly using Windows and therefore any advice to use 'sudo apt-get' will be less than entirely helpful. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
