[gentoo-user] how to set python version for one user
Hi, I need to set specific python version to a user and I don't want to set it up for whole system. Is it possible? If so how to do it. All I found is about setting for whole system. Thanks Pat Freehosting PIPNI - http://www.pipni.cz/

Thanks Pat A simple method would be to set up the PATH for this user to prepend a local folder, .e.g $HOME/bin Then copy (or symlink) the desired Python version from /usr/bin to that folder under a different name (i.e. without the (full) version number) Helmut

Thanks Pat How about this? echo alias python='python2.7' >> ~user/.bash_profile Well, this one doesn't work in case at the beginning of the python script is: #!/usr/bin/env python I have a "lot of scripts" with this. What I've thought there will be possibility to setup python version per user similar as for gcc (I think). Thanks for help Pat Freehosting PIPNI - http://www.pipni.cz/

I can't tell if by "set it up" to have Python binaries available for only one user, or if you want one user to use a different Python version from other users, with multiple Python versions potentially available to all users, which would be then "Gentoo way". If you have, for example, Python 2.7 and 3.6 installed, you can use "eselect python set ..." to configure the default Python for most users. For individual users, I recommend a Python virtual environment. You can use the 'virtualenv' module for both Python 2.7 and 3.x, but since Python 3.5 the built-in 'venv' module is recommended. I know soft links to a specific Python version were recommended here, but based on my experience I strongly discourage that. Your special user will need more than just the binaries, and a venv is definitely the more robust and versatile way to go. -Ralph

All I found is > about setting for whole system. On Gentoo, you can set the EPYTHON environment variable. floppym@naomi ~ % python --version Python 3.6.6 floppym@naomi ~ % export EPYTHON=python2.7 floppym@naomi ~ % python --version Python 2.7.15
