The above command will create a new folder named work3.7 in which you will have a fresh Python 3.7 virtual environment. Let’s follow best practices and create a virtual environment in which we will install NumPy, SciPy and Matplotlib: 1 python3.7 -m venv work3.7 So, use python3.7 when you want to use the latest version. Please note that python3 will invoke the default system Python which is 3.6. Let’s install the 3.7 version, this will be installed separately and won’t mess up your default Python version: 1 sudo apt install python3.7 python3.7-dev python3.7-venvĪt this point, you can invoke the newly installed Python 3.7 with: 1 python3.7 Fortunately, Ubuntu 18.04 also provides Python 3.7.3 as a separate install. The problem with the default Python installation is that it is a bit old.

The above command will install support for using virtual environments, the pip3 package manager that can be used to install various libraries and Tkinter support for GUI programming with Python. Let’s install some of these in order to make our Python system more complete: 1 sudo apt install python3-venv python3-pip python3-tk As of 3.7.7, macOS installer packages are now compatible with the full Gatekeeper notarization requirements of macOS 10.15 Catalina including code signing.On Ubuntu, the default Python 3 installation is split into a number of separate packages.The deprecated 64-bit/32-bit installer variant for macOS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) is no longer provided. As of 3.7.7, we provide one installer: 64-bit-only that works on macOS 10.9 (Mavericks) and later systems.Please read the "Important Information" displayed during installation for information about SSL/TLS certificate validation and the running the "Install mand".Please see the Full Changelog link for more information about the contents of this release and see What’s New In Python 3.7 for more information about 3.7 features. We do not plan to provide further binary updates for future 3.7.x security releases. However, since 3.7.8 was the last 3.7.x bugfix release and there are security fixes published in 3.7.9 that apply to users of some of the binary installers provided with 3.7.8, we have made an exception for 3.7.9 and are also updating the Windows and macOS binary installers. Note that there are updated binary installers available for 3.7.9.īinary installers are normally not provided for security fix releases. We plan to provide security fixes until mid 2023, five years after its initial release. Python 3.7.8 was the last bugfix release of Python 3.7 before 3.7 entered the security-fix phase of its life cycle. Get the latest releases of 3.7.x and 3.9.x here. There are now newer security releases of Python 3.7 that supersede 3.7.9 and Python 3.9 is now the latest feature release of Python 3.
