 DaVinci Resolve Studio has a fantastic remote-rendering system built-in that allows queuing renders on other networked Resolve computers.
 Unfortunately Resolve doesn't have a remote-rendering, or even background-rendering solution for proxies.

+### A Warning about Python 3.6
+
+Because DaVinci Resolve requires Python 3.6 to communicate with it's API, no versions over Python 3.6 will work with *Resolve Proxy Encoder*.
+Unfortunately this means that *Resolve Proxy Encoder* may get stuck using older versions of certain packages as they begin to drop support for 3.6.
+It also means that security patches for some dependencies won't make it into *Resolve Proxy Encoder* 
+This kind of setup almost guarantees dependency conflicts if you have multiple Python CLI tools you keep installed.
+To mitigate this you can:
+
+- Use Python 3.6 for *Resolve Proxy Encoder* **ONLY** and install a newer Python alongside for your other needs.
+
+- Install a tool like *pipx* that isolates Python CLI tools with their own virtual environments but keeps them on path.
+

 ### CLI / Worker
 The CLI app is bundled with everything necessary to queue from Resolve and start workers that run the encoding.
 ```
 py -3.6 -m pip install git+https://github.com/in03/Resolve-Proxy-Encoder
 ```
+Or with *pipx*
+``` 
+pipx install git+https://github.com/in03/Resolve-Proxy-Encoder

 ### Broker
 The broker needs to be accessible by each computer over LAN.
