This depends on what you call "older 3.5 variants". :-) The current version is Python 3.6. Guix has 3.5 (and 2.7). Python 3.7 (which will materialize PEP 552 ) is planed for mid of 2018. -- Regards Hartmut Goebel | Hartmut Goebel | h.goe...@crazy-compilers.com | | www.crazy-compilers.com | compilers which you thought are impossible |
