Re: How to clean up Python in Fedora 38

2023-09-05 Thread Michael Hannon
I think that the suggestions offered so far (environments, etc.) are all very good, but another approach is to use the Anaconda distribution of Python: https://www.anaconda.com/ I use this distribution precisely to avoid any mixups with the Python files that come with the OS distribution. Note t

Thanks, Hugh. I enabled the repo, as per your (untested) suggestion, did the yum update, and voila, I got duplex printing. This was success with only one document, and if the update is going to break other things, it hasn't had time to do that. But things look very good so far. Thanks again. -
