  • How to change from default to alternative Python version on Debian Linux

    https://linuxconfig.org/how-to-change-from-default-to-alternative-python-version-on-debian-linux

    Your Debian Linux installation may include multiple python versions and thus also include multiple python binary executables. You can run the following ls command to find out what python binary executables are available on your system:

    $ ls /usr/bin/python*
    /usr/bin/python  /usr/bin/python2  /usr/bin/python2.7  /usr/bin/python3  /usr/bin/python3.4  /usr/bin/python3.4m  /usr/bin/python3m
    

    To check what is your default python version execute:

    $ python --version
    Python 2.7.8
    

    Change python version on per user basis

    To change a python version on per user basis you simply create an alias within user's home directory. Open ~/.bashrc file and add new alias to change your default python executable:

    alias python='/usr/bin/python3.4'
    

    Once you make the above change, re-login or source your .bashrc file:

    $ . ~/.bashrc
    

    Check your default python version:

    $ python --version
    Python 3.4.2
    

    Change python version system-wide

    To change python version system-wide we can use update-alternatives command. Logged in as a root user, first list all available python alternatives:

    # update-alternatives --list python
    update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for python
    

    The above error message means that no python alternatives has been recognized by update-alternativescommand. For this reason we need to update our alternatives table and include both python2.7 and python3.4:

    # update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 1
    update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/python2.7 to provide /usr/bin/python (python) in auto mode
    # update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.4 2
    update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/python3.4 to provide /usr/bin/python (python) in auto mode
    

    The --install option take multiple arguments from which it will be able to create a symbolic link. The last argument specified it priority means, if no manual alternative selection is made the alternative with the highest priority number will be set. In our case we have set a priority 2 for /usr/bin/python3.4 and as a result the /usr/bin/python3.4 was set as default python version automatically by update-alternatives command.

    # python --version
    Python 3.4.2
    

    Next, we can again list all python alternatives:

    # update-alternatives --list python
    /usr/bin/python2.7
    /usr/bin/python3.4
    

    From now on, we can anytime switch between the above listed python alternative versions using below command and entering a selection number:

    # update-alternatives --config python
    
    debian linux change alternative python version
    # python --version
    Python 2.7.8
    

    Appendix

    In case we no longer have the alternative python version installed on our system we can remove its update-alternatives listing. For example let's remove python2.7 version:

    # update-alternatives --remove python /usr/bin/python2.7
    update-alternatives: removing manually selected alternative - switching python to auto mode
    update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/python3.4 to provide /usr/bin/python (python) in auto mode
