Trouble with Python install I suppose...

[Wudz]

Hi,

I tried to update Python from 3.4 to 3.7 (was on Jessie). I struggled a lot, installed and uninstalled several version and finally migrated to Stretch, hoping it would fix things.

I'm still blocked using this command:

Python3 plugin.py API pycoap

Returning:

-bash: /usr/local/bin/python3.7: no such file or directory

I agree because normally, the python version is the default one in 3.5...
Why does it still mention 3.7? It was installed indeed, but what is still the reference? Bashrc and profile files are empty (defaulted when moved to Stretch)

Thanks for your help!

Regards

Have you considered simply installing the current supported Raspbian Buster Operating system, released 9 months ago.

Maybe that would resolve all the inconsistencies that have arisen?

Hi,

I was not aware I was so late! ^^
I'll give it a try, but I'm with a Rpi1, I fear some slowness if I upgrade further :/

Buster is no different to Wheezy, Jessie or Stretch on a RPi1B.

Note that I suggested, by implication, installing a fresh unmodified version of the current Operating System.

Raspberry Pi have never recommended or supported incremental upgrades from one major release of Raspbian to its successor.
