Older version of Python on Manjaro (Arch Linux)

Question

Manjaro now comes with the newest version of Python ( 3.8 ). However, I need an older version of Python ( 3.7 ) for my current projects. Is there a way to install the older version and use something like python37 or python38 when starting the program so that I can switch between the two versions?

Answer 1

You can try installing a specific version using AUR ...

sudo pacman -S yay
yay -S python37
