Python 3.6 support is deprecated and will be removed in the first release after December 15, 2019. Please upgrade Python to 3.7.0 or higher.

What is the best way to update python for Home assistant in Dietpi virtualenv?

Just the same question: right way to update python venv, used for HA, to the V.3.8 ?

Anyone have idea ???

[MichaIng]

I currently implemented it with 3.7.5, since 3.8 was still in beta? But we could test it, from within the dev branch:

Code: Select all

G_CONFIG_INJECT 'DEV_GITBRANCH=' 'DEV_GITBRANCH=dev' /DietPi/dietpi.txt
dietpi-update 1
sed -i 's/3\.7\.5/3.8.0/' /DietPi/dietpi/dietpi-software
dietpi-software install 157 # or "reinstall"

@MichaIng, ok, I'll try !

Only one confirmation :
inside HA now I see venv 3.6.3, not 3.7.5,
I've to edit your sample command ?
or I can run anyway this syntax, before install 157...

Thanks for support !!!

Current stable DietPi ships v3.6.3 indeed, dev branch (the first commands apply it, which should be hence done first) ships v3.7.5, so there the sed replacement will work.

Umhhh, something wrong :

pyenv-virtualenv: `3.8.0' is not installed in pyenv.
pyenv: version `homeassistant-3.8.0' not installed
homeassistant-3.6.3
pyenv-virtualenv: version `homeassistant-3.8.0' is not a virtualenv

and HA remain on python 3.6.3....

Sorry,
for venv update I miss this part:

Sorry,
for venv update I miss this part:

https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/inst ... irtualenv/

so, what is the procedure for python update under virtualenv?

[MichaIng]

There is a difference between venv (guide) and pyenv what we use. To update Python within the pyenv, reinstall Home Assistant as of my post above. This assures that everything is done with right user and all related versions fit together.

So it seems that Python 3.8.0 is not yet supported by pyenv, however I will do some test later as well. However with current dev branch Python 3.7.5 is installed which should work very well and in theory more stable than a first new minor version update.

I tried:
- dietpi-software reinstall 157
WARNING: Can not proceed with installation. Kindly remove the '/home/homeassistant/.pyenv' directory first.
I deleted that folder and - dietpi-software reinstall 157
