How does pythonanywhere apply Python patch releases?

I hadn't really looked at my virtual environment in a while and I just realized the Python version in my virtualenv is behind on patch updates. I assumed that keeping up with patches was something that would be handled by pythonanywhere, since they're supposed to be backwards compatible. I was wondering if there was a recommended way of keeping up-to-date with patch updates in virtualenvs or the default python?

We upgrade pythons with new system images. See https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/ChangingSystemImage

Ah, ok, great, didn't know about the system setting, thanks!

Glad to hear that it worked for you.
