Pythonanywhere Blog Glastonbury: a new system image, with Python 3.9 and Ubuntu 20.04

If you signed up for an account on PythonAnywhere after 21 June 2021, you'll have Python 3.9 available - you can use it just like any other Python version. Additionally, the underlying operating system for your account will be Ubuntu 20.04, rather than the 16.04 used by older accounts.If you signed up before that date, you'll be on an older "system image" - essentially the version of the operating system and the set of installed packages that you have access to. You can switch to the new system image from the "Account" page, but you may need to make changes to your code and/or virtualenvs to make everything work - there's more information on the linked page.This post has more details on what's new in the glastonbury system image. There's a lot!
