Currently my project is using in old python version 2.7 and in order to keep track of source code complexity, git pre-commit hook, HTML Graph report of work I would like to use python pip tool wily.
However, since pip wily support only python 3, I am looking for way I could install it for my current project implementing python 2.7. How could I install it for python 2.7?
One workaround solution I could think of is to set up a separate python 3 virtual environment for wily and check python 2.7 source code, it is possible? Thanks
AFAIU the project requires Python 3. At Oct 14, 2018 (a year ago now) the author formally declared that the project requires Python 3.6+.

I watched a tutorial that requires me to have Django 2.1.
When I type in "python -m django --version" - my Ubuntu terminal says 1.11.18 But, when I type "django-admin --version" - terminal says 2.1 This didn't bother me until I reached part 6 of this series, I'm heavily invested now with a serious problem I can't figure out. I even completely reinstalled my OS, (I was running Linux mint, thought it'd be easier if I ran Ubuntu) I ran through a myriad of different "fixes" I found online, but nothing seemed to fix this.
The main issue that I ran into from the tutorial is the urls linking.
EDIT:
I have Python 3.6 installed
You need to be using Python-3 to use Django-2.1. Django 1.11 is the last version to support Python 2.7.
The problem is most likely because you've got both Python 2 and Python 3 installed on your system, and you're installing Django without a virtual environment. I would highly recommend using a virtual environment: it keeps your project separated from the system Python version's packages. At this point, using Python 3 and venv to make your virtual environment is the best practice.
See the documentation here: https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html#creating-virtual-environments
Here's a quick walkthrough to create a new virtual environment in a directory called "my_django_project" in your home directory with Python 3 and install Django:
python3 -m venv ~/my_django_project
pip install Django
. ~/my_django_project/bin/activate
To deactivate your virtual environment, type deactivate.
Then, whenever you want to work on this project, type . ~/my_django_project/bin/activate.
Now let's say you wanted to work on a separate project using another Python package, like OpenCV. You could create a separate virtual environment for this project:
python3 -m venv ~/my_opencv_project
pip install opencv
. ~/my_opencv_project/bin/activate
This allowed you to keep your projects separate. There is a fair amount more to learn, but this should be enough to get you started. Good luck!
I am using python 2.7.10 with Anaconda 2.3.0, and I use the Anaconda IDE with sublime text 3 (is it a different Anaconda??).
However, for a course I'm taking we're required to use python 3.5.
I would like to keep python 2.7 on my computer, though. What would be the easiest way to have both versions coexist and be easily accessible through the terminal (through sublime would be great, but I'd be happy with managing it on the terminal for now)?
Also, I typically run conda update conda, and conda update anaconda on a regular basis to keep everything up to date. How would that work with different versions of python installed?
This sort of thing is actually what Anaconda is built for. Although the default Python version depends on the installer you used, Anaconda supports both versions. The easiest way is to create a new virtual environment. From the following link, use this conda command to build a Python 3 environment:
conda create -n py35 python=3.5 anaconda
That is if you need Python 3.5 with all the anaconda packages. You can either leave that blank if you just want a vanilla version of Python 3.5, or specify individual packages.
Once you do this, Python 3.5 will be available with the console command py35. You should definitely read the following link about how to manage environments. Really, you should read that whole tutorial.
Using pip with different Python version is a common problem, as I see when I search the Internet. There are a lot of answers around, also in this forum. However nobody seems to encounter the same problem that I have:
I use Canopy python most and it was installed first. Later I installed Anaconda. Now when I try to install a program with pip it always install it in Canopy (or refuse to install it because it is already installed in Canopy.
for example:
$ pip install ipython
gives:
Requirement already satisfied...
but there are no ipython in my Anaconda-folder, it is in the /Enthought/Canopy_64bit/... folder
How can I overcome this problem?
Both versions are 2.7 and even if one is 2.7.11 and the other 2.7.12, it did not work to distinguish between the two by this.
Maybe you can try the following.
Find where both pip-s reside (whereis pip, I have it on ~/anaconda2/bin), then cd to the pip directory of the python version you want, and execute it from there.
I manage with the help of J. Corson comment:
When you want to use a particular Python installation, activate the desired environment. In my chase
source /home/per/anaconda_ete/bin/activate
then using pip made the installation in the anaconda python and I could install ipython and other stuff there... fine, thanks!
i recently started using python with xubuntu on virtualbox but i'm having problems. I want to be able to use numpy so i thought that apt-get install python-numpy would solve everything, but using the shell i kept getting No module named numpy. I used IDLE and it could find it. I also have IDLE (using Python-2.7), and again it could import numpy. Then i noticed that the shell had python 2.7.9, while the IDLEs had python 2.7.6.
Using
import sys
print sys.path
this if what i get from 2.7.9 (shell)
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/setuptools-17.0-py2.7.egg
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/Pillow-2.3.0-py2.7-linux-x86_64.egg
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/mock-1.0.1-py2.7.egg
/usr/local/lib/python27.zip
/usr/local/lib/python2.7
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/plat-linux2
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-tk
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-old
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages
and from 2.7.6 (IDLE)
/home/alessandro
/usr/bin
/usr/lib/python2.7
/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk
/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PILcompat
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ubuntu-sso-client
I understand that i have two versions of python installed and somehow i ended up installing packageg into only one of them (the 2.7.6).
I'd like to be able to use 2.7.9 both in the shell and in IDLE and also i'd like to install so that python 2.7.9 can see them.
I read that i can add paths to the python sys.path, but isn't there a more efficient/persistent way to do what i want?
PS: tell me if you need more informations
For my projects I usually create a virtualenv for each python version I need for the project at hand. I manage them using pip to install specific versions that I need. Moreover you should be able to choose the python path in your IDE. While I'm not using IDLE, I read here that apparently idle comes along with the python versions during install. So maybe your idle versions collide with each other. If you want to have only one python version at the time on your machine you might consider a simple remove and fresh install of your desired version. Again I would recommend pip over apt-get etc. Hope this is of help for you.
Worth to check PyDev, a plugin for Eclipse to work on python.
http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/pydev-python-ide-eclipse , or http://pydev.org/.
This allows you to configure the python version for different project's.
I have some project's with python 2.7 and others with 3.4.
it's checks the whole system in search for the PYTHONPATH to use!
I have just installed Ubuntu 12.04 which comes with Python 2.7. I have installed Python 3.3, so now I have both versions. For example, if I type python in the terminal I get version 2.7 and if I type python3.3 I get that version.
I don't see why I would need 2 versions (?) so how do I uninstall Python 2.7? And if I do so, will the "python" command then point to Python 3.3?
VERY IMPORTANT EDIT
Removing an older version of python may be very dangerous and can cause trouble in your whole system! For your case instead of removing the older python you can simply use an alias in your terminal, so that when you type python it opens python3.3;
Here is the procedure, add this line:
alias python=python3
Into~/.bash_aliases or: ~/.bashrc
Btw I guess If you ask this question in AskUbuntu you may have a quicker/better response!
You should never remove the builtin Python in your Ubuntu distribution. Bad things will happen if you do.
It is highly recommended to use virtualenv to install other Python environments.
Here's a good Stackoverflow question that demonstrates how:
Is it possible to install another version of Python to Virtualenv?
