Change default python version in IDLE
0
So, I'd like to have Python 2.7.6 when I open the IDLE (that is the one pre-installed on Ubuntu); instead, the idle opens with the one that I have installed (2.7.5).
How can I do that?

sudo nano /usr/bin/idle-python2.7
It looks like this
#! /usr/bin/python2.7
from idlelib.PyShell import main
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
Change the end of the first line to reflect your desire.
#! /usr/bin/python2.7.6
^X to save, and y to consent.
Give it a whirl.

@StefanoDeRosso, you still have Python 2.7.6 installed, right?

Feb 22 '15 at 16:34
I have Python 2.7.6 installed, and when I run it from the terminal it is the default one. I've changed it to the default using the "ln" command. Anyway, I've came through the problem - even though in an "alternative" way -, by uninstalling and reinstalling the IDLE in Ubuntu Software Center. In any case I'd like to resolve it the other way, too.

but when you execute/usr/bin/idle-python2.7, modified or not, from the command line the idle is 2.7.5?

hey hey, executing "/usr/bin/idle-python2.7", it works! It opens the IDLE for Python 2.7.6. But is there some way to make it happen only writing "idle" on the terminal?

If you need Python 2 just type idle in terminal.
If you need Python3 type idle3.
I have both Python2 and Python3 installed and also idle and idle3.
