change Python version in installation instructions

ChrisEt opened this issue · comments

Hi,
I propose to change the following line in the installation instructions
conda create --name tf python=3
to
conda create --name tf python=3.6

Reason: At the moment, TensorFlow only support Python 3.5 and 3.6. It can easily happen that someone has Python 3.7 installed, which causes pip to be unable to find and install tensorflow.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have given it some thought. This is a temporary fix until TensorFlow is built for Python 3.7 and then I would have to change it back again. Then next year when Python 3.8 comes out, I would have the same problem again. If people google the error message they will see the explanation. Maybe I will add a short note to the installation instructions.
