| − | == Check Python ==
| + | Hynek Schlawack |
| − | Check the version of the default Python interpreter:
| |
| − | <code>python --version</code>
| |
| − | | |
| − | List the versions of python available:
| |
| − | <code>ls /usr/bin/python*</code>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Use <code>update-alternatives</code> to setup system-wide ability to choose Python interpreter. The one with the '''higher''' priority number will become the default.<br>
| |
| − | <code>update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 1</code><br>
| |
| − | <code>update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.6 2</code>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now we can list the choices:
| |
| − | <code>update-alternatives --list python</code>
| |
| − | | |
| − | And choose one:
| |
| − | <code>update-alternatives --config python</code>
| |
| − | | |
| − | We can also remove a choice if it's no longer an option on the system:
| |
| − | <code>update-alternatives --remove python /usr/bin/python2.7</code>

| | == Python Packaging == | | == Python Packaging == |
| − | In the old days (2015) there were still debates about how to package Python and install stuff. Now, it's settled. Use pip. Easy_install is dead. See the [https://docs.python.org/3/installing/index.html docs]. Also note that <code>venv</code> is the successor to <code>virtualenv</code>

| − | == Basic PIP and Virtual Environments ==
| |
| − | Do NOT (normally) use sudo with pip. Use a virtual environment. As of Python 3.4, the command is now called <code>pyvenv</code> or simply <code>venv</code>. As of Python 3.6 <code>pyvenv</code> is '''deprecated''' in favor of using <code>python3 -m venv</code> to help prevent any potential confusion as to which Python interpreter a virtual environment will be based on. '''python3''' is not generic. It represents the '''exact''' version you wish to use in your virtual environment.

| − | # .. some output ..
| |
| − | source myenv/bin/activate
| |
| − | # maybe upgrade pip
| |
| − | pip install --upgrade pip
| |
| − | # then install your local environment packages

| − | You only use sudo or elevated permissions when you want to install stuff for the global, system-wide Python installation.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It is best to use a virtual environment which isolates packages for you. That way you can play around without polluting the global python install.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As a bonus, virtualenv does not need elevated permissions.
