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.

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"

@19ecal 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)?

why do you need python 3.10

@ch1ck3n 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.

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

@ch1ck3n to me, the most notable item in the changelog in the OP, the language now supports pattern matching (match/case)

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

@CarpalEnderman same + the error matching

@TheNerd21 fart: a reflex that expels intestinal gas through the anus

@ch1ck3n It has a bunch of useful features that 3.8.12 (current REPLit default) doesn't have.

MATCH CASE that's [email protected]
