Python3 latest stable package

I installed python3 several years ago manually

Python 3.7.12

It still same version for years. Which package are you using for the latest stable python3 and keeps it updated in Arch or Manjaro environment? I need to keep updated it.

what’s the output of

python -V

and

pacman-mirrors -G

manually?

python 3 has been an integral part of Manjaro for many - many years - in fact pacman-mirrors is python3.

So if you is running an up-to-date version of Manjaro you should be on Python 3.10

If you mean by “manually” that that you did not use the package manager to install it
then the package manager does not even know about it’s presence
and consequently cannot update it.

… you installed it, you keep it updated …
use the package manager and updates will be taken care of

we have the last version in system, but you can install other ( old) version in home, it`s not a problem

edit: home… anaconda , is a user version

Should I change python enviroment or default python3 wrapper? Then removing home version
How

Here I should say some aur packages using this home version btw. Because it says your python 3.8=>3.7 and your installation can not procceed or sth like this. Like apostrophe

no idea … why you have anaconda ? anaconda is a fork
if you want anaconda, is at you to manuelly update

Well, I want to get rid of this awkward situation.
It was a mistake that done almost 4 years ago and It was newbie installation.
Need to install python3 from repo but couldn’t found a python 3 stable package

well since you already messed up the automatically procedures i would recommend to install the package “pyenv” from package-manager. you can switch between different installed python-versions with it. actual 3.7 and the actual 3.10 is installed, so you should be able to use this tool to switch between the versions. use the search function of the internet to get more infos from “pyenv”.
i would not recommend to uninstall anything manually in your case because i expect that the settings in general will be messed up afterwards.

python 3 is the current standard
the package is called just python - it is python 3

would it not be just enough to move out of the way your privately installed python (or delete it)?

you obviously do have the repo version of python installed already

you have just set up your environment so that the one in your $HOME is used instead of the system python
that is what it looks like to me - but my knowledge of these things is very limited

you can also only update anaconda ?

      conda update conda

Yes, you can also, probably in your .bashrc (reverse your manual changes)

pacman -S --noconfirm \

How’s it going?

command -v python && python --version

gives me /usr/bin/python Python 3.10.6

I was forcing paru to utilize this without notice. What a shame :face_with_open_eyes_and_hand_over_mouth:
