@ryanwohara I'm not very familiar with the update process but are you sure we are still using this repo to create images for machine executor? We maintain a few branch of images e.g. circleci/classic:edge now and I'm not sure how that works.

Any updates on this? Having to do a pyenv install 3.6.x seems a bit silly given that 3.6 has been GA for quite a while now

I have no insight into CircleCI's inner processes, but yes this repo is the one referenced in your public documentation:

https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/executor-types/ — search this page for the words "Refer to the specification script for the VM for more information about additional tools.", which hyperlink back to this repo.

Python 3.6.5 is now available, with Python 3.7 right around the corner. Any chance of ever getting something more recent than 3.5.2 in a Machine image?

Python 2 is officially dead

@ryanwohara Any chance this can be merged soon?
