Python Version upgrade

[nitinkukreja]

Hi!

I'm novice to Python! I have Mac Mini (M1, 2020) with Apple M1 chip (version 12.4). I use VS Code and PyCharm for running my handful of Algos for Trading and have Anaconda too. Currently, all is working well (except few which need python version 3.9+) on python 3.8.8. I need to upgrade the version of Python but don't know exactly how to do (already installed ver 3.11 and 3.9 but don't work) and I am afraid if I'll face problems uninstalling python and re-installing.

If anybody could help, I'll be grateful. Screenshot is attached

You should use pyenv.
It allows you to have as many versions of python as you wish, and to use different versions for each project.
