which Python choose
#1
Hi,
I am little lost with decission which Python version should I choose for my hobby programming.
I tested Win 10 and Linux Mint 21.3 with Python 3.10.11 and 3.11.9 and 3.12.4 with IDE Visual Studio Code 1.93 and PyCharme 2024.
I cannot find any big differences. To stay conservative and near to my former old systems (Win 7 with Python 3.7.9 now 3.8.8)
I could use the 3.10. Then other people would say invest in future and use the latest 3.12. Or I choose the middle way and give
3.11 a chance. Anybody written it has speed and performance andvances.
So what to do, how to decide, what do you think?

Oh btw. Only in Windows I have real choice. I tried Linux Mint 21.3 which gives me by default 3.10.12 and LMDE6 which gives a 3.11.2 already. I could ask Mint 22 probably it will give 3.12 Smile

You should use latest stable version, unless there is version incompatibility with existing code base (e.g. must usie specific package that has not been compatible yet)
Also, there is no problem to install latest python on Linux
