Python 3.5 in google colab

Question

I'm runing a python code for deep learning in google colab. Python 3.5 is required for that code. How can I install Python 3.5 version in google colab ?

"3" does not mean "3.0". I commonly means the current stable release of 3.x — OneCricketeer, Mar 06 '19 at 19:20
Sub version matters. For example, google AI Platform only supports Python 3.5 as of June 21 2019. The model trained there may have problem if loading on the Python 3.6 environment (e.g., due to existence of Lambda layers). — Maosi Chen, Jun 21 '19 at 20:51

If you do !python3 --version you can see colab current uses Python 3.6.7 which is "python version of 3.5 or above"

alternatively you can use local runtime, this will allow you to use different versions of python

Please explain why you think that `sudo` is needed, in contrast to existing and upvoted answer which seems to disagree. – Yunnosch Oct 02 '22 at 19:32
