Dunno if it was updated since you posted this comment, but I see 1.11, not 1.1. 1.11 is the latest LTS version, and thus an excellent choice for 2018.
Thanks for clearing that up for me :)
The sequence of releases is 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11. After that they went to 2.0 (first version to drop Python 2 support). IIRC, the next LTS will be 2.2.
