Your question is best suited for the general Python mailing list at
python-list at python.org.  This forum is for questions about development
with the Python's C API.

However, if your Python comes bundled with the game, it is likely not
possible to update the in-game Python without updating the game.  If the
game's developers still offers support, you might want to take up the
question with them.  Otherwise, you should probably just live with the
older Python.
