Portability across systems or across time?  For the latter, I would
judge partly on the license.  If the version you have does what you
want and you have the right to distribute it with you code forever,
little problem.  If the owners of the code can pull the rug out from
under you, so to speak, bigger problem.

Something this big would normally be posted as a link if one has the
web space to do so.  However, since so many of us have suggested you
give Python some more time, I think it fair to post the result of
doing so.
