Cross compatibility of Python libraries across different Linux distros? /u/TheDapperYank Python Education

So I can’t seem to find a good answer for this, and I’m not a programmer, but feel free for shaming me if this is a stupid question.

So, I’m trying to develop some automation tools for my team, we’re not a developer team and I’m not a programmer. I’m a schmuck with an EE degree trying to streamline some data analysis. So, the production server is older, it’s running RHEL 8.1.1 with Python 3.6.8 and does not have internet access so I have to manually download the libraries/push them over to the server and install them from there.

I’ve developed some scripts on Windows that pull data on intranet websites and crunches some data, and I want to push it to the production server. I want to be able to use something like WSL to work on this stuff locally and add functionality to it, but do it locally to make sure it works/work on the library version compatibility before pushing stuff up to the main server. Is it just a matter of making sure I have the appropriate versions of the libraries on both my virtual instance and the server? Or is there something else I need to be aware of/some other issue that will cause things to not be compatible?

Thanks!
