If so, how can I update it?\nI want this because I am using rpyc to connect to another ev3dev brick, and want to type hint the remote motors to get intellisense, inspection... etc. I am running from vscode on windows 11 to a python ev3dev brick connected over a cable. The brick info is:\n - brickman: v0.10.3\n - kernel: 4.14.117-ev3dev-2.3.5-ev3\n - I am on python version 3.5.3 according to sys.version\n\nI have tried running sudo apt-get update and upgrade, but it doesn't change the version\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Msavage314","@type":"Person","name":"Msavage314"},"datePublished":"2025-11-22T12:22:08.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/802/ev3dev-lang-python/issues/802"}
