Hi there,

In case that you are using Ubuntu or Debian, you should be able to install Python 3 by running the following:

  • sudo apt update -y

  • sudo apt install python3.7

In case that you need to install a very specific version, you can follow the steps here:

    Thanks for the reply. even though I changed the python version droplet error.log python shows the old python version,

    Another question is that when I change the flask app-related files how can I reload the project with new files?

      Hi there,

      You can try adding TEMPLATES_AUTO_RELOAD=True to your config so that Flask will check for modifications of the template source and reload it automatically. By default, the value is None which means that Flask checks the original file only in debug mode.

      Regards,
      Bobby
