But that breaks other programs which actually need python to point to python3. I am looking for something like virtualenv. The method mentioned in the wiki(sourcing the virtualenv directory) wont work as it is not just the terminal session that needs to point to python2. I have looked at the source code and it is hardcoded to call bin/python when it executes a python script. Is it possible to change it to call bin/python2.7 as that is going to remain the same in all distros.
If this doesn't work, i was going to setup a dev environment on windows. Are there any problems with setting up the dev environment in windows.
