Thonny canary powered by ;

--> Core18
--> python 3.9.18
--> source build

[Sameer Sharma (sameersharma2006)]

Let's see if this exists after upgrading to core20 ?

We have now upgraded canary to focal from bionic.

Edit: The situation only gets worse sadly with upgrade to focal. 🥴

[Sameer Sharma (sameersharma2006)]

No longer pursued.
