Update Python to 3.7

Status: Implemented Submitted by on ‎08-15-2019 07:01 AM

Similar to how there is a functionality to use pip through the ayxinstallPackages, there needs to be a way to upgrade python itself. There are important packages such as keras that have errors in Python 3.6 that are not present when used with 3.7 so it should really be up to the user as to which python package to use. Another solution could also be to allow the user to point to their own local installation of Python so that the user can maintain consistency between their own local site-packages and the one that Alteryx has.

I like the idea of pointing to a local Python installation.

Thank you for your feedback and idea!

 

We've officially upgrade Python to version 3.8.5 in the latest release of Alteryx, 2020.4. You can download it here and be sure to let us know what you think in the Designer Discussions board!

In response to the idea of pointing to local site-packages, there is a new tool which lets you do just that. Check out the Jupyter Flow tool, which will let you select whatever site-packages you'd like to maintain for the tool. It will also zip those packages up in a portable environment that allows the workflow to be shareable, packages and all, and run on Server.
