What is the best python version for meltano? I just bumped to ubuntu 22.04, which installed python 3.10.4 on my machine. I don't think meltano has a relese yet for 3.10.4, so now I'm bounding around different python versions to see what stitcks

Thanks! Ever gotten the _bz2 error? It has me kinda stumped

Did you read that link?

Yeah I'm currently using python 3.8.8 with pyenv

I'd use the latest 3.8 version. Beyond that you're going to have to share what's going on. I use 3.8.x and everything works.

pipx install meltano

,

meltano --vesrion

all works 🙂

Well 3.8.8 didnt work, but 3.8.10 does

latest version of 3.8 is 3.8.13 fyi https://www.python.org/downloads/

Yeah, I just got a fear of things TOO new with my install of ubuntu 22.04 😛

You have to look at each program individually unforotnantely. Normally semver is a good rule of thumb. For python specifically, when you jump minor versions 3.8.* -> 3.9 -> 3.10 they are potentially breaking changes. For meltano just stick with the python versions meltano supports, but you should always stick to the latest

patch

version of that

minor

release as there's a bunch of security releases and non breaking changes that are very good. So for 3.8 you should be on the latest version of 3.8, in this case

3.8.13

Awesome, thank you so much

3.10 works just fine for me btw. (3.10 has been out for over 6 months by now and some rolling distros had it as default since initial release). It really depends on your taps and targets though.
