Dev guide: modernize Python install guidance for shell developers - #23
Merged
Conversation
The dev-env page told developers to install Python 3.9.x (EOL Oct 2025) and carried pip-version guidance from the 2.7 era; the getting-started page used a Python27 path example. Now: install a current 64-bit Python 3 (shellfoundry supports 3.9-3.13; 3.13 needs shellfoundry 1.2.29+), with an explicit note that shells still EXECUTE on the Python bundled with CloudShell (3.9.9 / 2.7.18), so driver code must stay compatible with that.

Customer-reported: the dev guide still instructs installing Python 3.9.x (EOL Oct 2025) — and shellfoundry appeared to "rely on older Python".
With shellfoundry 1.2.29 (QualiSystems/shellfoundry#276) and cloudshell-rest-api 9.0.2 (QualiSystems/cloudshell-rest-api#32, #33) now live on PyPI, developers can use Python 3.9–3.13 on their dev machines.
Changes:
C:\Python27\ScriptsPATH example withC:\Python313\Scripts.Deliberately not touched: platform system-requirements pages (third-party-software etc.) — those correctly describe what the platform bundles today and change only with the platform Python upgrade.
