Elastic Compute Service:Migrate Python

Last Updated:Apr 29, 2025

This topic describes how to migrate Python from the x86 platform to a YiTian Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance.

Python is an interpreted scripting language. Python code is platform-independent and can be directly used on Arm platforms without compilation.

For example, you can run the following command to install Python 3.8 on Alibaba Cloud Linux 3:

sudo yum install python38 -y
Note

Python 2.7 and 3.6 already reached end of life (EOL) and are no longer maintained. We recommend that you use Python 3.7 or later.
