  • Get your ass to that hospital, money be damned!!

    This sounds very serious. At this point, you need to decide if you want to live and possibly be paying medical debt off for a while, or die.

    Definitely put up a go fund me, but SWEET JESUS don’t let the thought of medical debt drive you to what is essentially suicide.

    Google tells me this:

    Medical bills are generally classified as nonpriority unsecured debts, and they’re a type of debt most likely to be discharged, or wiped clean, in a bankruptcy.

    A bankruptcy follows you for a decade or less, so worst case, declare bankruptcy.


  • packages installing but not working due to missing dependencies

    This is the fault of the package author/maintainer

    packages installing but not working due to broken dependencies

    Sometimes the fault of the package author/maintainer. Sometimes this is the fault of a different package you’re also trying to use in tandem. Ultimately this is a problem with the shared library approach python takes and it can be ‘solved’ by vendoring within your own package.

    packages not building and failing with obscure errors

    Assuming the package is good, this is a problem with your build system. It’s like complaining a make file won’t run because your system doesn’t have gcc installed.

    one package was abandoned and using Python 2.7

    Unfortunately there’s a ton of this kind of stuff. I suppose you can blame pypi for this, they should have some kind of warning for essentially abandoned projects.
