I have just loaded python3.13 and flask onto my rocky 9.5 system.  The system already has python3.9 as part of the rocky linux.  I have just installed idle3 wanting to use it to work with python3.13 and flask but find that it connects only to 3.9 where I do not have flask.  Does anyone know a way to either modify idle to connect to my 3.13 version or is there any way to get the "dnf install" to load it into my 3.13 directory structure?  I prefer to use idle instead of the plain 'ol text editor.

Thanks, Dale

    Dale,

    Note that uopy can work with any version of Python 3.x, so if you are looking at using your Linux system, then change your PATH environment variable, as well as any aliases or other Python related environment variables.

    If you are using u2py, with UniVerse the next version 14.2.1 which is expected to be released in June will support Python 3.13.

    Either way there is always the option to use 3.9, if I am not mistaken, flask and idle3 work on previous releases, so you can always use the original version.

    While I have not tried it myself, you may want to try:

    sudo dnf install python3.9-idle
