Hi, the current python version which was installed in my DGX station is 2.7 and I would like to upgrade the version to 3.7. Will the upgrade affect the compatibility with NVIDIA development tool, etc? The current DGX OS is Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.

Hello! DGX OS 5 should come with Python 2.7 and 3.8 installed. To check this, try:
$ ls /usr/bin/python*
/usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python2.7 /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python3.8
Hopefully this resolves your issue.
Thank you for your post!

Hello,

Along the same lines, am I able to install python 3.9?

Thank you
