Python Version

[redsnapper]

Hallo,

im Paketmanager (-zentrum) meiner DSM 7.1.1-42962 steht, dass Python in der Version 3.9.14-0003 installiert ist. Greife isch jedoch per SSH auf meine DS 213j zu und gebe im Terminal Python ein, dann wird mir die Versionsnummer 3.8.12 ausgegeben.

Kann mir das jemand erklären?

Vielen Dank!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Andreas Rothbart

I get the same in DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 1:

• Package center shows Python 3.9 installed.
• Package center shows Python 3.8 is not installed.
• python --version via SSH shows Python 3.8.15
• If I use the full path to python 3.9 it shows Python 3.9.14
• If I use python3.9 --version via SSH shows Python 3.9.14

Python 3.9 is installed as an optional package:


Python 3.8 is installed in the system partition as the default python version as part of DSM:

Interesting!
What would happen if I use

sudo apt-get update / upgrade?

Would that update the internal Python? Or brick my whole NAS?

No, don't do apt-get

You could delete the /usr/bin/python3 simlink and create a new symlink pointing to /var/packages/Python3.9/target/usr/bin/python3.9

But I'm not sure how DSM would cope if you later uninstalled python 3.9
