When I try to follow the instructions for [Writing your first patch for
Django/Getting a copy of Django’s development
version](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/contributing/#getting-a
-copy-of-django-s-development-version], I encounter a problem with python
version.
In the docs, we should use
{{{
python3 -m venv ~/.virtualenvs/djangodev
}}}
to create a new virtual environment by running. However, it doesn't point
out the exact python3 version we should use. In the later
{{{
python -m pip install -e /path/to/your/local/clone/django/
}}}
I have a problem reported as
{{{
ERROR: Package 'Django-5.1.dev20240516091757' requires a different Python:
3.8.3 not in '>=3.10'
}}}
Later on I install and change to the python version >=3.10 to solve the
problem. It would be great if the docs specify the Python Interpreter
version.
