Tensorflow Developer Certificate Exam

[david-ben-gurion]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone who has taken the exam could help me. So the exam now requires Python 3.8 and I'm using 3.9. So should I completely uninstall 3.9 and install 3.8 from scratch and then install the required libraries as well, which are many. Or will the environment in the exam install 3.8 and all required packages on its own at the start of the exam?

Without having taken the exam, I would assume that 3.9 is sufficient if 3.8 is required. It's a later, minor version and shouldn't break anything that worked on 3.8

@DavidBenGurion-Git You can create an environment with Python 3.8 running using Conda or within PyCharm.

Such as:

conda create --name [ENV_NAME] python=3.8

Here's another way as well, which I often use to switch between different python versions I have installed.

Creating the python env with virtualenv (pre-installed on windows)

virtualenv [name of env] -p c:\[path to python version]

example: virtualenv venv -p c:\Python310\python.exe

Activating the environment (need to be within the directory where you've created your environment)

(Terminal) C:\env> venv\Scripts\activate

De-Activating your environment:

(Terminal) C:\env> venv\Scripts\deactivate.bat
