For anyone else wondering why we get a syntax error, this seems to be new in 3.8. :)

  So anyone using Ubuntu or Debian, maybe for the next major release you can try it out. I love Debian but I hate that I cant just install the latest of Python system wide without potentially breaking system level scripts.

    Just use pyenv (careful with spelling), then you can use any version you like.

      Definitely will have to check it out with two endorsements, I've heard of a few other options, but this might be something I'm actually okay with.

        What alternatives are there for pyenv besides conda?
        • Nullabillity 6y ago
          Nix?

    System Python is for the system, leave it alone. Use https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv and get every Python you want in seconds for your personal use.

    If you don't want to use pyenv (I think it's a mess), just look into compiling Python yourself, using a prefix like ~/.local/share/python-$version
