Introduction & Python3 (3.5+) package request

Hello everyone,

A little about me- I am Rahul. I made my first post yesterday.

I have known about Slitaz since slitaz 3, but never used it other than rescueing files from my computer when once windows wouldn't boot & for disk partitioning with gparted from within Slitaz

I am relatively new to linux as a daily user & I tried some distros based on Debian, settled with Linux Mint.

I am looking forward to using Slitaz daily if I can manage to make atleast google chrome & Anki work

I mainly watch online lectures & make & review flashcards on my computer.

If any of you go to school & must memorize a lot of stuff, you might want to check this out-

Anki requires python 3.5+ and package manager has 3.3.6 so I would like to request newer version.

I tried tazpkg convert for arch linux package, both anki & python. python 3.5+ from arch didn't seem to work.

You might see me around if Slitaz works out for me

Cheerio!
