[AWIPS #FWK-371818]: AWIPS Python Version

Hi there,

> Operating System: Windows
>
> Description of problem: I install the latest AWIPS/Cave following the step by 
> step instruction.
> As part of the installation, python 3.7 is install. I was wondering if 
> updating my python

This is not something we've attempted before, so I can't say definitively one 
way or another. If 
there is a relatively easy way to roll back to Python 3.7 if it does break 
CAVE, then I'd say go
for it.  But if that is not an easy process, I might not risk it if I were you?

I want to say I'm mostly certain it should be okay (on Python 3.8), but again, 
we've never tested
that so I don't want to give you false information.

If you do update to 3.8, could you please let us know how it goes?

Sorry I don't have more information for you.
Thank you.
