DeepSpeech on Ubuntu 20.04

Ubuntu 20.04 is released with python3.8
which doesn’t support tensorflow 1.15 (it support only 2.x branch).
This is a big problem because I can’t install DeepSpeech to train my model…

I’m using Python 3.6 on Ubuntu 20.04 and it works well for training.

New fresh installation of Ubuntu 20.04 doesnt have python3.6 but only python3.8, if i install from external repositori i gain only new bugs in othet app

Just install python3.6-minimal from ubuntu’s repos … no need to change the default python, create a virtualenv with that version and that will work.
