Use latest Python version on Google Colab

Question

Google Colab has Python 3.6 installed but it's not the current version of Python.

How would I go about upgrading Python to the latest version on Google Colab?

Answer 1

The FAQ says:

Colaboratory supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.6. We're aware that users are interested in support for other Jupyter kernels (eg R or Scala). We would like to support these, but don't yet have any ETA.

So I don't think its possible as of now.
