Re: How to install older python version on Debian

["{Pokoradi, Balazs}" <pokoradi.1899@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I’d suggest you build it from source (python.org/ftp... with the needed version) as an additional python version, and then create your venv using the 3.6.

You can dm me if you might need more details.

Best regards,
Balazs
