Support for Python 3.5.1

perchslayer · 2016-09-18 01:48:37

I am in need of the ability to use Python 3.5 and Debian Jessie only supports Python 3.4. Python 3.5.1 is a fundamental dependency of Django (the Python-based) web framework and I keenly wish to get on with it.

I went and looked and saw that it was released on December 6th, 2015. And so while it is indeed not quite yet a year old, it is something I desperately need in my "plan". And so would my best course of action to find another distro to ride on? Or are there other alternatives?

Thanks.

As a reference, I wish to add the following thread I have read on this subject:Debian Forum on the question of Python 3.5

BTW, not only is Python 3.5 needed for Django, it is the earliest version that supports virtual environments.

You might also consider switching to Ubuntu Xenial which has Python 3.5.1 by default, without required extra work. The point here is to choose the best tools for the job at hand, and if you find that the majority of your core work/leisure tools need extra time investements into getting them to run in the version you require on Debian Stable/BL, then using a platform that readily provides them might save you these investments.
