Well - - - RPi world technical specs is usable from -20 to 60 C (iirc on
the top number)
and for my project I absolutely need to have usability to at least -40 - -
could possibly do a bit less but -35 C is a hard requirement so the RPi
and Pico (which I would like to use) is out but ESP8266 runs in that -40 to
65 C
range.

Because one uses psytool on one computer to transfer a program to the
MicroPython system. In fact there are a set of tools that need Python3.12
to be able to do this and therefore the question.

that I could set up Python3.12 inside (along with the other needed tools).
The
more I'm looking the less useful most of the information I'm finding is
becoming.
Therefore I thought I would go to the python gurus for information - - -
which I
have.

So please - - - how do I set up a venv so that I can install and run python
3.12
(and other needed programs related to 3.12) inside?

TIA
