It's already changed to 5 due to the addition of C++. No sense chasing it. People having different versions of the CLI installed will make it disagree anyway.

Let's make this forwards compatible and say to select "Python" if available or "Other" if not available in your version of the CLI.

OTOH, if "Python" is in there, the Fastly CLI should have already done steps 1, 2, and 7 for you. What if we say something like "If there's a 'Python' choice, you're in the future, and that's great! But you should go get a newer set of instructions, because a lot of these steps are going to be done for you."?
