Python version

denc19

Hi,

I was wondering whether it is possible to update Python to version 3.8 (or perhaps even the newest Python 3.9). When creating a Django application there is no option to select a Django and Python version like there is in Webfaction. Instead, Python 3.6 is installed by default.

I found a community post that details how to downgrade to Python2.7, but it seems that the analogous pip3.8/pip3.9 for upgrading is not available (yet).

Is there a way to manually upgrade Python, or do I have to wait for Opalstack to add support?
Also, is it possible to upgrade the Python version of existing applications, or do I need to create a new application and migrate the old application?

Thanks in advance!

Just posted this: HOWTO install a newer (or older) version of Python

It includes instructions for converting an existing uwsgi app to your own Python. Hope it helps 🙂

Awesome, thanks for taking the time to write a HOWTO! So far I am really impressed with the support at Opalstack, keep up the good work 😄

denc19 You're very welcome!

I'll confess, I've been copy/pasting those same instructions into ticket replies for the past couple of weeks so it wasn't much work to post it here 🤣
