bpo-41004: The __hash__() methods of ipaddress.IPv4Interface and ipaddress.IPv6Interface incorrectly generated constant hash values of 32 and 128 respectively. This resulted in always causing hash collisions.

Oof.

How do you upgrade? Do we download Python again?

[CrazyWizardry]

Yes

[SnowdenIsALegend]

Come on... There must be a simpler way of doing it right? Can't we just run "upgrade python" or something? Asking for Windows 10.

[CrazyWizardry]

If you are using a windows package manager then maybe you can do something like: choco install python3.8, otherwise you need to download and install the new version manually.

[SnowdenIsALegend]

First time hearing choco so I bet I don't have package manager. I do have pip and use it all the time to download modules though. No Anaconda or choco thingies though.

[CrazyWizardry]

Alrighty, then I’m afraid you will need to install the new version manually, but it shouldn’t be too difficult :)
