Title: Python programming?
Post by: meo on June 30, 2026, 08:22:56 AM

Hello to y'all!

I am starting to program in python using piCore64 16.0.0 and I have installed Python 3.12 but if I type python into a terminal it seems that it doesn't exist Any thoughts?

Kind greetings,
meo

Hi meo
It might be called something like python3 or python3.12.
Type  pyth  and hit the  Tab  key twice and see what auto-completion returns.

Python 3.11 is the supported version for piCore 16

Fully aware of that.  They were only included as they were used during the toolchain build. But they lack build updates done in 3.11.
