I got my Raspberry Pi yesterday and I am already trying to code with it. I have a program that I was planning to run on it but it is only compatible with Python versions 3.5.0 or 3.5.1 and everything I find on the internet seems to either be outdated, to do with Python 2 or doesn't relate to my problem as I haven't seen anything else that 100% requires Python 3.5 and can cope with 3.4(currently pre-installed). .exe files don't work on Linux. I am new to the Raspberry Pi and with Linux as I have always been a Windows user. Any help is appreciated. Many Thanks - Robert
