[CalendarServer-dev] Web Developer

Marc and Dre,

I have Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04 servers up and running and both have python2.7+ and python 3.3 or greater.   Some of that worry may be mitigated for python.

I appreciate you getting back with me.

I can easily build a centOS 6.9 or 7.5 server on the cloud service I use (Digital Ocean).  Linux is odd with the number of distribution but for most part they interchangeable once they are setup.
