Interpreter Version

Main point

It is recommended to use Python 3.7.

• There is an informative summary of new features on Real Python. More detailed description can be found in the official documentation.

• To name some notable additions:

  • Data Classes can easily replace namedtuples and attrs.
  • Typing Forward Reference makes type hints even more programmer-friendly.
  • The “asyncio” module has received many new features along with usability and performance improvements. For instance, new “asyncio.run()” automatically creates an event loop, runs a task on it and finally closes the loop when the task is done.

• Nonetheless, if you still use previous version of Python (especially 3.6), it is possible to backport some of the new features e.g. Data Classes.
