We’ve installed over 40 new Python packages, and updated all of the ones that we already supported. We now have PyPy 7.3.4 installed, with support for Python 2.7.18 and 3.7.10.Don’t let that hold you back from upgrading, though! The Python development team dropped all support for it (including security patches) back in January 2020 so you should really be using Python 3.x for everything. Python 3.5 may be dropped in the next system image however, we’re planning to keep basic Python 2.7 support for at least the next couple of images. That means that you can use them, but you’ll need to install any dependencies you need for yourself. Python 2.7 and 3.5 have reduced support both are still installed, but we no longer pre-install any packages for them apart from pip and various virtualenv-related things.If you change which version python runs, the pip, ipython, virtualenv, and various other commands will also automatically switch over to match the new version at the same time. Ubuntu 20.04 does not have that restriction, so if you’re using glastonbury you can go to the “Account” page, switch to the “System image” tab, and specify which version you want it to run. Previously, with Ubuntu 16.04, that command had to always run Python 2.7, which was annoying. You can now configure the Bash command python to run any version of Python that the image supports.We’ve installed new point releases of the other installed Pythons:.Python 3.9 (specifically, 3.9.5) is now supported.While this doesn’t make any huge changes to the system, it made a number of the things below possible… Python version changes ¶
The operating system is now Ubuntu 20.04.
There’s a lot! A new and better operating system ¶ This post has more details on what’s new in the glastonbury system image. You can switch to the new system image from the “Account” page, but you may need to make changes to your code and/or virtualenvs to make everything work – there’s more information on the linked page. If you signed up before that date, you’ll be on an older “system image” – essentially the version of the operating system and the set of installed packages that you have access to. Additionally, the underlying operating system for your account will be Ubuntu 20.04, rather than the 16.04 used by older accounts. If you signed up for an account on PythonAnywhere after 21 June 2021, you’ll have Python 3.9 available – you can use it just like any other Python version.
