I have installed recently kwant on an Ubuntu system following the instruction in the installation page. I noted that the python used is python 3.4.3. Is there anyway to replace it with python 3.5 or above without installing from the source?
You can follow the instructions at the bottom of the Debian section of the installation instructions [1] to build your own source packages. This is technically compiling from source, but it's a straightforward sequence of a few commands. Installing conda will give you a completely separate Python distribution, which is what you may or may not prefer. Christoph [1] https://kwant-project.org/install#debian-and-derivatives
