Release Date: Dec. 19, 2017

Python 3.6.4 was the fourth maintenance release of Python 3.6.

There are now newer security-fix releases of Python 3.6 that supersede 3.6.4 and Python 3.8 is now the latest feature release of Python 3. Get the latest releases of 3.6.x and 3.8.x here. Python 3.6.8 is planned to be the last bugfix releasefor 3.6.x. Following the release of 3.6.8, we plan to provide security fixes for Python 3.6 as needed through 2021, five years following its initial release.

PEP 468, Preserving Keyword Argument Order
PEP 487, Simpler customization of class creation
PEP 495, Local Time Disambiguation
PEP 498, Literal String Formatting
PEP 506, Adding A Secrets Module To The Standard Library
PEP 509, Add a private version to dict
PEP 515, Underscores in Numeric Literals
PEP 519, Adding a file system path protocol
PEP 520, Preserving Class Attribute Definition Order
PEP 523, Adding a frame evaluation API to CPython
PEP 524, Make os.urandom() blocking on Linux (during system startup)
PEP 525, Asynchronous Generators (provisional)
PEP 526, Syntax for Variable Annotations (provisional)

Notes on this release

Windows users: The binaries for AMD64 will also work on processors that implement the Intel 64 architecture. (Also known as the 'x64' architecture, and formerly known as both 'EM64T' and 'x86-64'.)
Windows users: If installing Python 3.6 as a non-privileged user, you may need to escalate to administrator privileges to install an update to your C runtime libraries.
Windows users: There are now 'web-based' installers for Windows platforms; the installer will download the needed software components at installation time.
Windows Users: There are redistributable zip files containing the Windows builds, making it easy to redistribute Python as part of another software package. Please see the documentation regarding Embedded Distribution for more information.
macOS users: If you are using the Python 3.6 from the python.org binary installer linked on this page, please carefully read the Important Information displayed during installation; this information is also available after installation by clicking on /Applications/Python 3.6/ReadMe.rtf. There is important information there about changes in the 3.6 installer-supplied Python, particularly with regard to SSL certificate validation.
macOS users: There is important information about IDLE, Tkinter, and Tcl/Tk on macOS here.

Features

Easy to get started. Thonny comes with Python 3.7 built in, so just one simple installer is needed and you're ready to learn programming. (You can also use a separate Python installation, if necessary.) The initial user interface is stripped of all features that may distract beginners.

No-hassle variables. Once you're done with hello-worlds, select View → Variables and see how your programs and shell commands affect Python variables.

Simple debugger. Just press Ctrl+F5 instead of F5 and you can run your programs step-by-step, no breakpoints needed. Press F6 for a big step and F7 for a small step. Steps follow program structure, not just code lines.

Step through expression evaluation. If you use small steps, then you can even see how Python evaluates your expressions. You can think of this light-blue box as a piece of paper where Python replaces subexpressions with their values, piece-by-piece.

Faithful representation of function calls. Stepping into a function call opens a new window with separate local variables table and code pointer. Good understanding of how function calls work is especially important for understanding recursion.

Highlights syntax errors. Unclosed quotes and parentheses are the most common beginners' syntax errors. Thonny's editor makes these easy to spot.

Explains scopes. Highlighting variable occurrences reminds you that the same name doesn't always mean the same variable and helps spotting typos. Local variables are visually distinguished from globals.

Mode for explaining references. Variables are initially presented according to simplified model (name → value) but you can switch to more realistic model (name → address/id → value).

Code completion. Students can explore APIs with the help of code completion.

Beginner friendly system shell. Select Tools → Open system shell to install extra packages or learn handling Python on command line. PATH and conflicts with other Python interpreters are taken care of by Thonny.

Simple and clean pip GUI. Select Tools → Manage packages for even easier installation of 3rd party packages.

Credits

From 2014 to 2018 the main development of Thonny took place in Institute of Computer Science of University of Tartu, Estonia.

Since September 2018 development of Thonny is partially supported by Cybernetica AS.

Development of several features in Thonny 3.0 was proposed and supported by Raspberry Pi Foundation.

We are also grateful for the help of several contributors from the open-source community around the world.
