Please let me know how to upgrade python 3.5 to python 3.8.
I have gone through different forum posting and nothing helps me to do this.
Any formal guide to upgrade ?

First, you need to have python 3.8 installed on your server. Then, there’s a bench command to migrate your python environment. Please be sure to make a full backup of your server before doing this.
bench migrate-env /path/to/python38
(Replace /path/to/python38 with the real path. For example, /usr/bin/python3.8)

Here are the steps I have followed
wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.8.6/Python-3.8.6.tar.xz
tar xf Python-3.8.6.tar.xz
cd ./Python-3.8.6
./configure
make
make install
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/local/bin/python3.8 10
bench migrate-env /usr/local/bin/python3.8
and got me this

Any idae?
I have found that once we execute migration cmd
(bench migrate-env /usr/local/bin/python3.8)
the env folder of frappe-bench has renamed to archived_envs.
Then the error said no file directory on frappe-bench/env
Any idea how to resolve this?

Hi Sanath: Did you manage to find a solution for this?
Thanks

I just follow the below guide

Recently Frappe updated it’s dependencies so that you’ll get an error on update in case you’re using python < 3.7.
Here’s what I did to upgrade to python3.8 under Ubuntu (18.04 and 20.04). This is a more detailed version of my quick note on GitHub.
Remember to take a backup of your server first!
Install python and python-dev packages for 3.8:
sudo apt install python3.8 python3.8-dev
Switch to your bench directory:
cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench
Now you could, in theory, run bench migrate-env python3.8 and be done. But this produced an error for me, so I had to do everything manually instead. Let me know if bench migrate-env works for you!
Move your old python env folder to env-old. This way you make space for the new env while keeping a copy to restore in case something goes wrong.
mv env env-old
Create a new python environment with python3.8
virtualenv --python python3.8 env
In case the above command doesn’t work (I had problems on one machine) you can try this alternative:
python3.8 -m venv env
Upgrade pip to the newest version. The later commands will fail in case your pip version is too old.
env/bin/pip install -U pip
Now we can reinstall our apps and their dependencies. Here I only show frappe and erpnext. Please append all your custom apps to the command like this: -e apps/my-app
env/bin/pip install -e apps/frappe -e apps/erpnext
I like to run bench update at the end to see if everything worked:
bench update --reset
If everything went well you can delete your old env (optional, use with care):
rm -rf env-old

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/frappe/v13-bench/archived/envs'
I am getting the above error on running bench migrate-env python3.8
This error can be temporarily fixed by adding the directory: /archived/envs in your bench folder.
I have created an issue here: No such file or directory: 'archived/envs' on running "migrate-env" · Issue #1279 · frappe/bench · GitHub
Update:
After this I got the following error:
/home/frappe/v13-bench/env/bin/python: Error while finding module specification for 'frappe.utils.bench_helper' (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'frappe')
Bench command cache doesn't exist in this folder!
This was fixed by running bench setup env
Update 2:
“bench setup env” command (or some other above command) removed all my apps from site/apps.txt
I ended up using your below command to solve it.
