我可以pip安装python3.6吗？

Question

If I have an older version of python (eg python3.4) and pip for this version of python, can I install a newer version of python (eg python3.6) by pip? In other words, can I do this?

pip install python3.6

Answer 1

pip用于安装Python包，而不是Python本身。

Answer 2

One way to answer your own question is to ask pip your question with:

pip search python

It doesn't show up, so the answer is no.

The most common way to install or upgrade python is using your system package manager or download an installer from its website.

Edit. For those who think it's entirely impossible to install python via pip, I suggest you run the above command first.

Answer 3

No, pip is used for installing python packages, so you need to install python separately.

1) You can check your python version with:

> python -V

2) For windows, you can download and run the installer .

3) Adjust System Variables So You Can Access Both Python Versions From the Command Line.

4) Open a new command prompt (the environmental variables refresh with each new command prompt you open), and type

> python3 –version
