  • Re: Upgrading Python on Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS

    From Skip Montanaro@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 1 11:11:05 2023


    I have a server with Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS and the Python version there
    is Python 3.10.6. Is there a safe way to upgrade to the latest version of Python 3.10 (3.10.9)? I tried with the OS update and upgrade but the Python version remained the same.

    I have an Ubuntu 22.04 system. The installed Python 3.10 version is 3.10.7:

    $ apt search python3 | egrep '^python3.10.*installed'


    WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in
    scripts.


    python3.10/now 3.10.7-1+focal1 amd64 [installed,local]
    python3.10-distutils/now 3.10.7-1+focal1 all [installed,local] python3.10-doc/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now 3.10.6-1~22.04.2 all [installed]
    python3.10-gdbm/now 3.10.7-1+focal1 amd64 [installed,local] python3.10-lib2to3/now 3.10.7-1+focal1 all [installed,local] python3.10-minimal/now 3.10.7-1+focal1 amd64 [installed,local] python3.10-venv/now 3.10.7-1+focal1 amd64 [installed,local]


    Off the top of my head, I can't recall if it's LTS or not. If you want to
    go beyond 3.10.6, it should be possible. As Grant indicated though,
    upgrading packages on an Ubuntu system (of any flavor) is the province of
    the Ubuntu community.

    This is an Ubuntu question, not a Python question.

    But, the answer is that you generally shouldn't mess with the Python
    version installed by apt on Ubuntu. There are too many other packages
    that use it.

    It may be safest to install mutliple versions:

    https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2022/10/python-3-11-released-how-install-ubuntu/

    You can also use Anaconda to do something similar:

    First, ask: Do you need to? Often patches get backported, but the
    version number isn't changed. Find out if there's something fixed in
    3.10.9 that still isn't fixed in the version Ubuntu is shipping.

    Thank you all.

    I'm not familiar with snap update but I did `sudo apt update` & `sudo apt upgrade`, but about one or two months ago.

    You can probably install it from the deadsnakes repository:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa

    More than likely it will have your package. See

    https://github.com/deadsnakes

    If you're not familiar with snap, lookup 'snap' 'ubuntu' ...

    I just last night installed 3.10.9 on Debian Buster following the
    directions at

    https://computingforgeeks.com/how-to-install-python-latest-debian/

    I only changed the file name of the Python tarball. However, if you want
    to use tkinter, the Tk development libraries need to be on your machine
    before you run ./configure. The package name may change, but for me it was

    sudo apt-get install tk-dev

    (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5459444/tkinter-python-may-not-be-configured-for-tk)

    It does not replace the Debian Python3 link to 3.7.3 so it should not
    interfere with normal Debian system services.

    (The highest Debian-supported version of Python on Buster is still 3.7+).
