ERROR: Package 'torch' requires a different Python: 3.6.0 not in '>=3.6.1'

While in my Python 3.6 virtualenv and installing a package I get the following msg:

ERROR: Package 'torch' requires a different Python: 3.6.0 not in '>=3.6.1'

Is there a way to upgrade the virtualenv from 3.6 to 3.6.1 ? Trying to install torch with

pip install torch

gets killed as it exceeds the 3Gb RAM limit Any ideas on how to bypass this issue ?

If you want to use Python 3.6.x > 3.6.0, you need to upgrade your system image: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/ChangingSystemImage/. Our latest system image, "fishnchips", has Python 3.6.9 available.
