Version of Python

Support Technical Support

Blender.org has instructions for how to install from Github, but the version of Python they say is 3.5, and I have noticed over the years that different projects delay upgrading different parts of their code dependency. Latest Python is more along the lines of 3.7… Is that going to make any difference, or is the website just behind? Does anyone know?

It definitely does not make on Arch Linux using Python 6 which is the Arch default. I may have to go to the Arch wiki to get more info on how to deal with having multiple versions of Python on my machine and how to tell make which one to use.

Edit: Meh, nevermind. You can go into Arch’s AUR repositories and install 3.5 and the installation works fine. Sorry for the spam!

Hi, can you explain what do you mean with

Do you want compile yourself?
Official Blender use Python 3.52 and it is included in the .zip from blender.org.
