Hi:

You're right, but at least we won't have to worry about this until “python3.10”

·         And we're comparing directory names, "Python 3.6.6" doesn't appear in the Python version we found

·         We find python applications using “whereis python”   “/usr/bin/python3.6” “/usr/local/bin/python3.6”

·         Later we can compare the form of string length to add a layer of judgment, but we don't need it now.


Any question, please let me know. Thanks.

Best Regards
Fan Zhiju

Hi:
Python3.6 and python3.7
After the code removes some common values “python”, we compare “3.6” and “3.7”
origin_version = “3.6”, python_version=”3.7”

I'm going to change it to
if [[ "$origin_version" < "$python_version" ]]; then





That's fine for now, hopefully it'll keep working as long as it needs to.

But once you're comparing for example 3.7 and 3.12:

[bcran@photon ~]$ if [[ "3.7" > "3.12" ]]; then echo "wrong!"; else echo "correct!"; fi
wrong!
