Google Colab has Python 3.6 installed but it's not the current version of Python.

How would I go about upgrading Python to the latest version on Google Colab?

The FAQ says:

Colaboratory supports Python 2.7 and Python 3.6. We're aware that users are interested in support for other Jupyter kernels (eg R or Scala). We would like to support these, but don't yet have any ETA.

So I don't think its possible as of now.

    The FAQ doesn't really say any of this at this time. As such, this answer is currently incorrect. The version of Python that's supported is still 3.6. – Acumenus Apr 29 '20 at 23:28
