Is it possible to run python 3.4 on a Raspberry Pi?
Currently I have python 3.2, but the odd thing is that running
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3
results in my Raspberry Pi informing me that python3 is 'already the newest version'.
I have also tried sudo apt-get install python34, but this tells me that no such package exists.
Does anyone know how to get python 3.4 running on a Raspberry Pi?
It seems Python 3.4 is still in beta, and there is no package prepared for it yet. If youstill want python 3.4, you should download it and build it from source.
You can find it here: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-340/ Download the source tar ball. The build instructions should be in there.
I have written a short tutorial on how to achieve this. You can find it here : http://depado.markdownblog.com/2015-03-12-short-tutorial-raspbian-python3-4-rpi-gpio
The above answer is right, you need to compile Python 3.4/3.5 from source and install a few system libs before you do that to have a fully functionnal Python installation. Also you'll need to install the RPi.GPIO from pip if you want to use the GPIO on your Raspberry.
You also need to have some free time to do that because compiling Python can take up to one hour on Raspberry.
Hope that helps even if the question has already been answered.
I used:
conda create -n py3k python=3.4 anaconda
Provided the following out of the box on my Pi2, many of which are normally a nightmare to get working on python.
