I don't claim to have any idea how difficult it is to try to keep things like WLCG up let along running as well as it does (I know it is super hard and that people work tirelessly with no thanks to make this happen), but as a field we should not be happy to keep using EOL software indefinitely.

$ pipx install norwegianblue
$ eol python
