is Python 2.6 actually tested to work? IMHO asking for 2.7 is fine.
comment:5 Changed 2 years ago by
This part of the documentation is for "normal" users right? Then maybe the reference to sage-bootstrap-python is more confusing than helpful for the target group. Personally, I would also add a "Version 3.7 or later is recommended".
comment:6 Changed 2 years ago by
I think the phrasing is okay: I think it makes it clear that it is a technical term and people can freely ignore it. I haven't actually tested to see whether Python 2.6 will work, but I think we should merge this. Any objections?

Follow-up in #20023
What is wrong with the current description? If an old Python is installed, then sage bootstrap downloads and (locally) installs a new python, right? This seems to be a huge enough workaround to justify the terminology "deprecated" (which implies that it does work, but is no longer recommended). Or do you mean something else?
