Equivalent of apt-get install python3.6-dev for conda

Question

How can I create a conda environment with the development version of python? Or does it already include all the necessary extension when I create one.

conda create -n py36 python=3.6

Answer 1

conda search python has a maximum version of 3.6.5, so I think only stable releases are available through conda.

edit: some dev versions are available on conda-forge:

conda search python --channel conda-forge to see them

conda create --name dev python=[version here] --channel conda-forge to install
