Updating to Python 3.5.1 on RaspberryPi

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post on how to update to Python 3.5.1 the normal upgrade process isn’t working for you:


cd ~
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.5.1/Python-3.5.1.tgz
tar -zxvf Python-3.5.1.tgz
cd Python-3.5.1
./configure && make && sudo make install


You may need to restart once this is complete. Run the following to confirm that the version is 3.5.1:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python3 --version
Python 3.5.1
