ChemScript - Python 3.2 Stopped Working in Windows 11

As has been posted here already, an update from the currently used Python version 3.2 to ANY version that has not reached its EOL years ago would be highly appreciated. Especially since it appears that Python 3.2 (neither the 3.2 nor the 64-Bit version) is incompatible with Windows 11.

Hence, I am not able to use ChemScript anymore, and I am sure many will follow with Microsoft's current update initiative.

 

Looking forward to hearing from you - and also to the soon release of ChemScript that depends on *up-to-date* software.

Thank you!

  So it turns out it is not Win 11, but rather was an encoding setting (enabling Windows' UTF-8 support) - should anyone run into the same issues.

   

  In any case: Please update the dependencies - there have been so many great improvements to Python in the last 6 years (since Python 3.2's EOL), and it is really a pity that one cannot use these features with such a useful tool as ChemScript.
