It is not recommended to install older version as newer version would be having fixes from communities.
Anyway if you want to install a specific version of package using yum that is very much possible.
Just provide the version number in yum install command for package.
# yum install <package>-<version>
For python3 3.7.9-1 the command will be
# yum install python3-3.7.9-1
You can also query what all versions of a packages are available
# yum --showduplicates list <package_name>

Subject: Python3 specific version installation
Hi,
Is there any way to install specific version of python3 using yum.
Last time when I ran yum install python3 command in AIX it installed 3.7.9 version in development environment.
Now after few months when same requirement came to install 3.7.9 python3 version using yum it installed automatically 3.7.10 version.
Please suggest me if there is any way to install 3.7.9 python3 upgrade in AIX specifically. How does yum take version?
Thanks,
Priya
