Python 3.10 on replit

Basically put this in your .replit file:


run = "(python3.10 --version || install-pkg python3.10) && clear && python3.10 main.py"

Explanation:
(python3.10 --version || install-pkg python3.10): check the version of python3.10, if it exited non-zero install it
clear && python3.10 main.py: clear the screen and run main.py

Python 3.10 is not the full release until October (currently beta), and I doubt very much that replit will add it then, so use this .replit file if you want to run the new features.

hot new top

UPDATED (using nix):
make a new nix repl: https://replit.com/new/nix
put this into replit.nix:


{ pkgs }: {
	deps = [
		pkgs.python310
	];
}

put this in .replit


run = "python3.10 main.py"

only problem with nix repls is that pip doesn't work with 3.10. I've tried ensurepip and get-pip.py as well and it doesn't work. Only 3.8-3.9 packages are available.

Does this work with external packages from PyPI (pip install ____ or Replit's packaging manager)?

just saying for anyone who came here from google, this won't work anymore. You could fork this to get a nix-based python 3.10 repl with all features you'd usually expect included, or this for 3.11

why do you need python 3.10

idk, I guess it’s for people to feel like they use the latest tech hence making them a better programmer somehow. Tbh every python version is practically the same.

bru..., please see the python 3.10 changelogs, its got better error predictions and all

to me, the most notable item in the changelog in the OP, the language now supports pattern matching (match/case)

This is pretty much the only reason why i want to update lol

same + the error matching

It has a bunch of useful features that 3.8.12 (current REPLit default) doesn't have.
