How to import python 3.7 into Processing

Processing.py
1

I think I’m using python 2 for my current Processing app on my Mac.
I have been trying to import python 3.7 but I couldn’t find out how to do it.
I would greatly appreciate if someone could help me. Thank you!

Check out the Processing.py tutorials for more information.

One tidbit about Python mode is that it’s actually based on an implementation of the Python 2 language called Jython.

The Python mode that runs in PDE must be 2.7. It cannot run 3.x due to limitations in its interpreter, Jython.

If you want a Processing-like experience with full Python 3.x compatability outside PDE, try using p5py:

Note that it does not run on JVM, so it is not compatible with the Java mode library ecosystem.
