You won't find an alternative that is as good. And it's just a question of the value of your time. As a developer, you should recuperate the costs for Pro in less than an hour. And it saves you weeks that I have had to spend over years of development. I don't know how that calculation can't add up. But to each their own.

right im just worried if i pay to use this im locked to python 3.6
it would be perfect if you could solve this issue as this is what is blocking me from purchasing it.
If you pay to use it then you can use later Python versions. Pro supports at least up to 3.10 as of this writing and is continuously updated for later versions.
My biggest concern would be lock-in to the license, not lock-in to an old Python version. The nominal cost to get up-to-date right now doesn't guarantee me perpetual updates, right?
I'm also suspect of the misleading presentation on the landing page; nothing in the "Open Source" section says anything about the fact that the author has resolved to let the Open Source version effectively die, while up-selling existing users to the paid version. I respect the approach, and you deserve to be payed for the work, but it would be good to not effectively lie on the home page.

thanks for the clarification
if anybody knows an alternative to this, i would be very interested, i understand we all need to get paid but hmmm yeah open source is not easy to make money from since most people just expect everything for nothing, and this is just the reality of this space.
