Issues importing Pennylane

PennyLane Help
1

Hello!
I installed Pennylane and am now trying to import it on a python notebook on VS Code, but it gives me an error I do not understand. Any suggestions? I am using Python 3.8.6 so that doesn’t seem to be the issue

import pennylane as qml

If you want help with diagnosing an error, please put the full error message below:

Hi @Hrishikesh_Patel!

The minimum Python version that PennyLane is compatible with is 3.9. We’d recommend upgrading to a recent version such as Python 3.11.

Let us know if you need any help with that!
