Guess what, you need Python to take this course. In fact, to take advantage of all the things we're
0:07
going to talk about, you're going to need a pretty modern version of Python for this course. For
0:13
example, some of the features are only available in Python 3.9. And a couple of them are only
0:18
available in 3.10. So if you either don't have Python, or are not sure which version of Python
0:26
you have, I put together a guide that we have for all of our courses over at training.talkpython.fm/
0:32
installing-python. Check that out. It's kind of a choose your own adventure for your operating
0:39
system and then how to figure out which version of Python you have. For this course, Python 3.10
0:45
is a real minimum, but I'd recommend go ahead and going for the latest. Right now that's 3.11.
0:52
very, very soon that's going to be 3.12. So, Python is very good at being backwards compatible.

But that said, you're going to need Python 3.10 or above in order to do all the code samples and run the example projects from this course.
