Post Body

Howdy folks, python newbie (ish) here and enjoying the process of learning.

My question is about needing an older version of python (3.5) to follow along with a tutorial that uses the fpdf library.

I have Anaconda installed, and it looks like I have python 3.8.3 normally (base installation if that’s the right term?). So far I do everything in a jupyter notebook because that’s where the course I’m taking has me and I’m familiar so far.

If the fpdf library can’t be installed on python 3.8.3 and needs between 2.7 and 3.5, is there a way to make either a notebook or virtual environment (these confuse the hell outta me right now) that uses 3.5 so I can install fpdf and follow along with the tutorial?
