Speaking as just a very newbie very unskilled computer programmer I can tell
you that if Python decided to go to self-updating that that would be
the day that
I stopped using Python. Why?

I spent a considerable amount of time investigating containers and when it
became clear that the version that I was looking into had forced me into
accepting this self-updating I tried to figure out a way to 'control'
that feature.
I won't bore you with the whole mess but the end result was that the only way
that I could regain control over my computer - - - - I couldn't even
delete major
parts of that subsystem - - - - well it was a complete reinstall.

That, imo a very very M$ solution is something I spent many hours trying NOT
to do so anything that wants to take me to such again - - - - it will
get dropped.

To the powers that be - - - - please do NOT program Python to be
self-updating!!!!!!
