Anaconda version with Python 3.5

You can install any current version of Anaconda. You can then make a conda environment with your particular needs from the documentation

conda create -n tensorflowproject python=3.5 tensorflow ipython

This command has a specific version for python and when this tensorflowproject environment gets updated it will upgrade to Python 3.5999999999 but never go to 3.6 . Then you switch to your environment using either

source activate tensorflowproject

for linux/mac or

activate tensorflowproject

on windows


Per this announcement, Anaconda upgraded to Python 3.6 starting with version 4.3, so... you probably want the 4.2.0 package from the installer archive.


According to the official docu it's recommended to downgrade the whole Python environment:

conda install python=3.5

Anacoda3-4.2.0 Uses python 3.5 You can find the same in the link given below : https://repo.continuum.io/archive/Anaconda3-4.2.0-Windows-x86_64.exe

I faced the same problem and found the correct version by checking the available Anaconda 4.2.0 distributions in installer archive here


command install:

  • python3.5: conda install python=3.5
  • python3.6: conda install python=3.6

download the most recent Anaconda installer:

  • python3.5: Anaconda 4.2.0
  • python3.6: Anaconda 5.2.0
