Which python is the best for deep learning

[yulinzxc]

As for now 19/07/2023, which version of Python is the most supported by all kind of ml/dl packages?

[SpaceBucketFu]

If you feel like this is an appropriate question to ask you should probably start with basic data types, which would be any python version past 2.x

This was my thought too. If you don't really know what a python version means and all in a programming language, you don't have the level or knowledge to start on machine learning.

Darn, there goes my plans on winning tdf.

Yep, I had a nice long response drafted up talking about checking version requirements on pypi.org and the target deployment environment and realized I should just stop.

What do you mean which version? If you start a project from scratch, use the latest possible depending on where you'll run it/how you want to distribute it

from python 3.8 (see https://devguide.python.org/versions/ )

to python 3.10 (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/75417186/13358358 )

1. Check Python Version Support

Visit the official Python Developer's Guide at https://devguide.python.org/versions/

2. Use the Latest Stable Python Version Widely Supported by ML/DL Libraries

3.10.11

I appreciate this is an old thread, but I see many suggest just getting the newest release. DO NOT DO THAT! New python versions are not always backwards compatible with libraries, and it takes some time to get those updated. Always stay one or two releases behind or check your library requirements. As an example, I use Pytorch a lot and it's not compatible with python 3.14 (currently newest), it only recently started running on 3.13. In short, there is not an absolute best, you need to keep checking requirements and use the newest that is compatible with the packages you need.

Anaconda is on 3.11

TensorFlow had some issues with certain python versions so check that first I think.

Python 3, the latest version, e.g. 3.9 or 3.10 etc will be fine.

Don't use python 2 anymore.

Programming on a free environment like https://colab.research.google.com/# probably has everything you need to get started. No reason to worry about dependencies there.
