Setup Python 3.12.2 on KDE Neon as of 02/29 vs Fedora 40 KDE Development branch

 KDE Neon KVM guest was deployed via neon-user-20240229-0716.iso. Python 3.12.2 installation has been performed per https://www.dedicatedcore.com/blog/install-pyenv-ubuntu/

In particular case no upgrade of KDE Plasma up to 6.0 was required

Notice that deployment Fedora 40 KDE instance been done utilizing Fedora-40-20240229.n.0  Server boot ISO provide Python 3.12.2 completely functional right out of the box along with quality of KDE Plasma 6.0 significantly more close to production quality then KDE Neon ISO as of 02/29/2024

Setup Python 3.12.2 on SparkyLinux2024.2 (kernel 6.7.6) via pyenv

UPDATE as of 02/25/24

To install Python 3.12.2 on ManjaroKDE 23.1.3 Stable branch :

[boris@boris-manjaro ~]$ sudo pacman -S base-devel tk git

To obtain the most recent state of pyenv clone the external git repo rather then install -  $ sudo pacman -S pyenv

[boris@boris-manjaro ~]$  git clone  https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv

Anaconda Web UI on Fedora 40WKS KVM Guest deployed via Fedora-WKS-Live-x86_64-40-20240217.n.0.iso

UPDATE as of 02/24/24

Installer turned back to old style Blivet GUI supporting encryption :-

 Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-40-20240223.n.0.iso

https://opencolo.mm.fcix.net/fedora/linux/development/40/Workstation/x86_64/iso/

=======================================================

Anaconda Web UI installer was tested step by step with encrypted root BTRFS volume and the most recent installer interface. KDE Plasma 6 RC2 was installed as second DE and smooth switching between DEs was verified

Now install python3-tkinter and load into PyCharm 2023.3 sample to test Turtle's Graphics

Setup Turtle Graphics on openSUSE Tumbleweed via Python3.13-dev

 First install pyenv on Tumbleweed. You may follow for instance http://lxer.com/module/newswire/view/337068/index.html

Then install Python3.13-dev (or Python3.13.0a2(3))  via pyenv . It won't affect system-wide Python 3.11.(X)

Now create new project in PyCharm 2023.3 and select Python3.13-dev as project interpreter

Then load any sample say from https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/turtle-programming-python/  and make sure that you are done

Same way procedure described above would work on SparkyLinux2024.2 or Manjaro 23.1-(x) and Manjaro Testing as well . On Fedora Rawhide everything  works out of the box (Python 3.12.2)

Would you try to follow https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2024-02-19_Fedora_40_GNOME_46_Desktop_and_Core_Apps

and use the most recent Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-40-20240216.n.0.iso . Just check status of mirror

https://opencolo.mm.fcix.net/fedora/linux/development/40/Workstation/x86_64/iso/

To get things working:

execute first `sudo dnf install python3-tkinter`  then test will succeed

Attempt to upgrade Manjaro 23.1 via Manjaro Testing branch

The core target of this post is evaluating current status of Manjaro Testing instance .

Changing to another branch

In order to access a branch, you need to change your pacman-mirrors configuration. You are supposed substitute the value colored in blue (for illustrative purposes only) to one of the following: stable, testing or unstable.

 $ sudo pacman-mirrors --api --set-branch {branch}

Run the pacman-mirrors tool with the --fasttrack option to fetch all mirrors to the list that consumes minimum time.

   $ sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syu

Manjaro Testing is runing kernel 6.7.4, System-wide Python appears to be 3.12.1, libvirt to have version 10.0.0 . 
The libvirt version has been displayed via virsh console. 
KVM Hypervisor and tools may be either smoothly 
upgraded from 23.1 or installed on Manjaro testing 
instance from scratch. In the last case after command
$ sudo pacman -S qemu virt-manager virt-viewer dnsmasq vde2 bridge-utils openbsd-netcat dmidecod 
The default option for qemu "all" should be selected
See https://computingforgeeks.com/install-kvm-qemu-virt-manager-arch-manjar/

Install PyCharm 2023.3 on Fedora Rawhide via snap

 This option of Pycharm 2023.3 setup works for me with no issues so far. I am not quite sure that under any circumstances I am supposed to work via flatpak/flathub . 

The most recent stable kernel has been installed via koji download-build  ( kernel-6.8.0-0.rc3.20240208git047371968ffc.30.fc40 ) . See https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?packages=kernel

Install Python 3.12 && Pycharm 2023.3 along with system-wide 3.11 on Manjaro KDE 23.1

 Pyenv is a tool for managing multiple Python versions. Once pyenv is installed you can easily switch between one project that uses Python 3.12 and a system-wide default Python 3.11. Same approach works fine on openSUSE Tumbleweed, SparkyLinux 7.2, SparkyLinux 2024.1

$ git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv

or

$ sudo pacman -S pyenv

The following two installs are required to perform successful build Python 3.12.1 for particular user via pyenv. This build won't affect system-wide Python 3.11.6 

$ sudo pacman -S base-devel

$ sudo pacman -S tk

Now we update ~/.zshrc in the same way as  did it for ~/.bashrc in cases mentioned above .

$ echo 'export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"' >> ~/.zshrc

$ echo 'export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"' >>  ~/.zshrc

$ echo 'eval "$(pyenv init --path)"' >> ~/.zshrc

Any other user on Sparky 7.2 box would work with system wide 3.11.2

Switching Pycharm ( for user "boris") to 3.12.1 interpreter

Install Python 3.11 && PyCharm on openSUSE Tumbleweed along with Python 3.12

 Following post is a compilation from several sources, which looked unexpectedly complicated due to I was unable to find out the way of installation like on the known Linux flavors (Fedora,Debian,Ubuntu).  Actually "pyenv install 3.1(X)" appears to be the build via original python's tar ball. Before you can use a specific Python version, you need to install and configure pyenv. The last part of the post describes setup Python 3.12 along with 3.11.7 and switching PyCharm to python 3.12.1 interpreter. Current version of kernel on Tumbleweed is 6.7.2 .

Proceed as follows:

Install the pyenv package:Your system is ready now. The pyenv command downloads the requested version, compiles it and stores it under ~/.pyenv/versions/. Once this is done, you can use your new Python version in the shell.

 $ sudo zypper install --details pyenv

To obtain the most recent state of pyenv (updated 02/27/24) :

$ git clone https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv.git ~/.pyenv

Second option does allow setup Python 3.12.2 on Tumbleweed

Install the following devel packages that are needed to build Python:

 $ sudo zypper install -y gcc automake bzip2 libbz2-devel \
   xz xz-devel openssl-devel ncurses-devel readline-devel \
   zlib-devel tk-devel libffi-devel sqlite3-devel \
   gdbm-devel make findutils patch

Add the following lines to your ~/.bashrc file:

$ echo 'export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"' >> ~/.bashrc

        $ echo 'command -v pyenv >/dev/null ||  \
           export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
        $ echo 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
When done restart terminal session either issue exec $SHELL 
Install a Python version, for example 3.11:

 $ pyenv install 3.11  ( it builds via tar ball on Suse Tumbleweed )

  boris@localhost:~> pyenv install 3.11

  Downloading Python-3.11.7.tar.xz...
  -> https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.11.7/Python-3.11.7.tar.xz
  Installing Python-3.11.7...
  Installed Python-3.11.7 to /home/boris/.pyenv/versions/3.11.7

Set this version for your specific user:

 $ pyenv global 3.11

Your system is ready now. The pyenv command downloads the requested 

version, compiles it and stores it under ~/.pyenv/versions/. 

Once this is done, you can use your new Python version in the shell.

Check if pip3 resolves to the local installation:

 $ pip3.11 --version
 pip 23.1.2 from /home/tux/.pyenv/versions/3.11.7/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pip (python 3.11)

You should see a directory that points to the user, not starting with /usr/.

Next "Howto" recommends installation PyCharm on Suse Tumleweed via snapd

Install pycharm-community on openSUSE   && now we are going to test

boris@localhost:~> pip3.12 --version

pip 23.2.1 from /home/boris/.pyenv/versions/3.12.1/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pip (python 3.12)

Switching PyCharm to python 3.12.1

Import Numpy and matplotlib in PyCharm project running by Python 3.12.1 ( versions 3.11.7 and 3.12.1 running simaltenously on openSuse Tumbleweed kernel 6.7.2 )

I've just have decided to share this numbers. Looks like install PyCharm 2023.3.3 via snap on Tumbleweed and F39 is important to have issue with importing numpy, matplotlib, scipy, pandas, openpyxl and etc been resolved when Python 3.12  is used as project's interpeter .
