- Since this project will include documentation, I'm trying to build the docs. However, from the Makefile at scipy/doc it appears that python3.6 is required, whereas only python3.5 is available for my platform (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS). I generally try to avoid adding third-party repos unless absolutely required, so I am asking for help here. Is installing python3.6 the only solution, or will changing the PYVERS variable in the Makefile work?
I suspect 3.5 should work once you get it to use your Python binaries. I doubt we have anything that is Python-3.6 specific (though there very well be some Python 3-isms that will not work on 2.7).
