-The Python SDK supports Python 2.7 and 3.4+
+As of Arvados 2.1, the Python SDK requires Python 3.5+. The last version to support Python 2.7 is Arvados 2.0.4.
h2. Option 1: Install from a distribution package
First, configure the "Arvados package repositories":../../install/packages.html
-{% assign arvados_component = 'python-arvados-python-client' %}
+{% assign arvados_component = 'python3-arvados-python-client' %}
{% include 'install_packages' %}
