Python 3.5

Hi all,

I understand 3.4 is being depreciated and 3.5 is now recommended.

I believe I have managed to upgrade my Ubuntu VM to 3.5 and have run the command “python3.5 -V” to check and get the following back

synertia@HAS01:/usr/src/Python-3.5.2$ python3.5 -V
Python 3.5.2

So looks good…?

When I start my HA running I get the following at the top

2017-11-04 11:49:11 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.bootstrap] Python 3.4 support has been deprecated and will be removed in the beginning of 2018. Please upgrade Python or your operating system. More info: https://home-assistant.io/blog/2017/10/06/deprecating-python-3.4-support/

Does this mean HA isn’t using the new install of 3.5? Or is this message merely shown regardless just as a warning for all users? Should it go away if I have 3.5 installed? Apart from running python3.5 -V is there a way to check HA is using 3.5?

Cheers

If you installed Home Assistant using a virtual environment then nothing will have changed. See this thread for how to upgrade.

Not sure but I think 3.6 is recommended.
