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.

Regards, Sacheendra
