Honestly we should think about getting rid of the quirks page entirely - the remaining quirks are

  • if you're on an unusual OS, we won't be able to find your terminfo
  • We don't ship Tix, which is deprecated in all our versions and gone on Python 3.13.
  • We don't ship a pip.exe on Windows and you have to use python -m pip (or, like, uv)
  • If you're using libpython.a (which isn't in the install-only tarball) on macOS, it's a little complicated
  • We use libedit and other people use readline (I think this is barely noticeable with pyrepl)
  • Sometimes you will see build-time paths in places that are hopefully harmless
