Downgrading to latest version compatible to python3.7

[renyhp]

Hi,

I just updated my instance, but I got a lot of weird errors after the instance update.

I then realized that I am on debian buster and my python version is 3.7 which, according to a discussion here, is not supported anymore.

I do realize I need to upgrade my OS, but, as a hotfix, do I have the possibility of downgrading to the previous version (which was working pretty well anyway), or any version that actually works with my setup?

Thank you very much in advance.

3.7 is very old. I would consider upgrading instead of downgrading.

Yes, as I was saying, I am strongly considering this. But as far as I understand there is no later python version available in debian buster, so I have to upgrade my OS in order to upgrade python. I surely am going to do it, but this takes time. In the meantime I would like, if possible, to have a working version of searxng rather than the currently installed broken one.

Well ok that was easier than I expected. I did a git checkout of e67a7b8 which is just before the merge of the branch that dropped the python3.7 compatibility. Then I simply ran (as searxng user, otherwise I would get some Permission denied) pip install -r requirements.txt. searxng is working again now.

I will soon upgrade my OS and move back to the current searxng version.

Thanks anyway!
