Hi Everyone,
I was trying to install the newest python version on the Databricks Clusters and it has the runtime version 7.3 LTS, but no matter how many times I try it keeps installing the 3.7.5 version of python.
I know that Runtime version 7.3 LTS comes with Python 3.7.5 but I was wondering if I could install a newer version of Python? Is it possible to do that?

I've done this before using a custom docker image, but even then the runtime itself continues to use the version of python 3 which is installed as part of the OS. The easiest way to get to a newer version is to use a newer runtime. If you're sticking with LTS releases then you could jump to the 9.1 LTS release which uses Python 3.8.8
