Are there any benefits for Home Assistant to switching to Python 3.6? Now I have Raspbian Stretch with Python 3.5.3.
The latest Python release that is shipped with Debian is the minimal requirement for Home Assistant. Python 3.6 ships improved async support and some other goodies. Python 3.5 will allow us to use coroutines with async and await syntax. Home Assistant will remove support for Python 3.4 at some point in 2018.
