Flowcode Support Board

I've been using the suggested installation of the ESP-IDF toolchain on the FC website. Even used the suggested version for Python!
But now there are reasons to update Python to it's latest version.
Will this impact the ESP-IDF function for Flowcode?

I hate to fix something that works until it's broke..

Hi

I'm very much with you on the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" thought.

I'm using latest Python without apparent issue (yet) and have also recently changed ESP versions but when doing that I usually uninstall, reg-clean then reinstall. Not had much problem when doing that.

Perhaps create a System Restore point first?

Good luck.

Regards

The latest Python has some breaking changes that might well impact the toolchain. Can’t you install it in a separate location that is not part of your standard path so it doesn’t mess up the ESP toolchain?

Hi

On my W8.1 I'm running ESP toolchains pretty much as described with Python3.8.x without any issue, and on my W10 machine running ESP 5.1.1 I'm running Python 3.11.x (not sure what x-equals, not at machine, but download within the last month or so) and haven't noticed anything, yet.... What am I likely to find as a potential problem so I can look out for it?

I appreciate I might never have an issue but keen to know what to look out for.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry: always forget to check "notify when reply"...

Thanks for the answers!
