Try to upgrade further to latest Python 3 version #752

Closed jnga closed 4 years ago

jnga commented 4 years ago

Try to upgrade Python 3 to the latest released version, 3.8.5. Heroku now supports 3.8.5. Earlier they supported 3.7 and 3.6, but our project was only working correctly on 3.6.

Update: when trying to deploy to Dev, found that the current stack, Cedar-14, doesn't support the latest Python 3 version. Upgrading the version in the Heroku runtime.txt will have to be done later after the Stack upgrade.

The project's Python version running in the virtual environment is now at 3.8, but the Heroku runtime is still at 3.6 due to availability on the current Heroku stack (Cedar-14). We will upgrade the specified runtime for Heroku later after the stack upgrade (see #753).
