I have just downloaded my IDLE in my Chromebook running LXDE. But the python version is 3.4.3, I know this is an old version, of 2015 I guess, and I dont know how to update it.
Im a complete begginer in programing and linux, and Im reading the tutorial in the python's official website for the 3.4.8 version. How can I update the version, or I shouldnt care with this "minor" problem.
Thank you.

You shouldn't care. Python 3.4.3 is perfect to learn and use python. Don't focus on the changes since 2015.
Python 3.6 does, however have some major improvements.
Not the least of which is f-string which would definitely be an asset to learn from the get-go
It allows print statements like:
see:
https://cito.github.io/blog/f-strings/
using Mike Drisccoll's example:
>>> import decimal
>>> gas_total = decimal.Decimal('20.345')
>>> width = 10
>>> precision = 4
>>> f'Your gas total is: {gas_total:{width}.{precision}}'
'Your gas total is: 20.34'I have already started using it almost exclusively.
There are many other improvements like asynchronous generators and asynchronous comprehensions
which you won't use as a beginner, but they will be there when you do want to explore further.
to update, follow snippsat's tutorial here:
