Python Migration in Dunfermline
Python version migrations for Dunfermline organisations, where the risk sits in the dependency graph rather than in your own code. The language itself changes modestly between recent versions; what breaks is a package three levels down that never released a build for the version you are moving to, and nobody knows it is there.
Why this comes up
The problem
The upgrade fails on a package nobody chose, pulled in transitively by something else, with no maintained release.
What you get
What we deliver
- The full dependency graph resolved and assessed, not just direct requirements
- Compiled packages identified, since these need builds for the target version
- Removed and deprecated standard library modules found before the change
- Environments locked so the migration is reproducible rather than approximate
- Test suite run on both versions during the transition period
- A supported version targeted, with the end-of-life dates written down

Python Migration in Dunfermline — common questions
- Why are transitive dependencies the problem?
- Because nobody chose them and nobody is watching them. Your direct requirements are usually well maintained, and the graph beneath them contains packages last released years ago — which surface only when the install fails on a version they never supported.
- What about compiled packages?
- They need builds for your target version and platform. Where a maintained release exists this is invisible; where it does not, you are compiling from source or finding a replacement, and that is the work most likely to be underestimated.
- Is Python 2 still a live case?
- Occasionally, and it is a different exercise entirely — closer to a rewrite than a migration, with no security support behind it for years. Anything still running on it should be treated as urgent rather than as a version upgrade.
- How do we stay current afterwards?
- Write down the end-of-life date for the version you land on and plan the next move before it arrives. Python releases annually with a defined support period, so the schedule is predictable and only becomes a problem when nobody is tracking it.
- Do you work with businesses across Fife?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Scotland, including Dunfermline and the surrounding Fife area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Dunfermline businesses do you usually work with?
- Back-office and operations systems for firms based in Fife but trading into the Edinburgh market. Beyond that we work across Financial Services, Manufacturing, Logistics, Retail and Public Sector.
- Do you cover the areas around Dunfermline?
- Yes — we work throughout Scotland, including Edinburgh, Stirling, Perth. Dunfermline is an urban area of roughly 55,000+, and we take on work across the wider Fife region rather than the city boundary alone.
