Yeah, upgrading Python from build-in ancient version that came with Linux distro (usually 3.8, or even 2.x) is actually much harder than doing so on Windows.

- prmoustache 2y agoyou don't have to upgrade, you can have more than one python install at the same time. You only really need to know about how to manage your PATH environment variable.
- eru 2y agoI guess it depends on what Linux distribution you are using?
- adastra22 2y ago> upgrading Python from build-in ancient version ... usually 3.8 Now you're making me feel old.
- klibertp 2y agoYou shouldn't use the OS's Python for your work. That Python is for OS utilities' use. It's meant to be old and stable. Instead, use pyenv, conda, asdf, mise, etc. - it'll allow you to install multiple versions of Python and easily switch between them for your projects. You're gonna need it anyway once you try writing integration tests for multiple versions of Python, like with tox or nox.
