Based on the search results, there is no specific version of Python that is required to use ChromaDB. ChromaDB is a Python package that can be installed using pip, and it is compatible with multiple versions of Python [1][2][4].

However, there is an issue reported on GitHub that pip install chromadb fails with Python 3.11.0 [2]. This issue seems to be related to PyTorch, which is a dependency of ChromaDB that is not yet compatible with Python 3.11 [2]. Therefore, if you are using Python 3.11, you may encounter issues when installing ChromaDB.

In general, it is recommended to use the latest stable version of Python when working with Python packages, including ChromaDB. As of June 2023, the latest stable version of Python is Python 3.10.0 [5]. However, ChromaDB should be compatible with multiple versions of Python, so you can use the version of Python that is most suitable for your project.

To install ChromaDB using pip, you can use the following command:

```python
pip install chromadb
```

Once installed, you can import ChromaDB in your Python code and use it to create collections, add documents, and perform other operations [1][4].
