calling a different python interpreter from bash command line
- by Dennis Daniels
I have python 2.7 installed
[user@localhost google_appengine]$ python
Python 2.7 (r27:82500, Sep 16 2010, 18:03:06)
[GCC 4.5.1 20100907 (Red Hat 4.5.1-3)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
I want to use the python 2.5.2 that is in this directory
[user@localhost Downloads]$ ls |grep "Python-2*"
Python-2.5.2
Python-2.5.2.tgz
to run a python script in Khan Academy platform against a google app engine application
sudo python sample_data.py -a ~/workspace/GAE/google_appengine/appcfg.py upload
Currently, when running the last script 2.7 python complains a lot (Google App Engine runs on 2.5.2 mostly and 2.6 almost)
I would like to do something like
sudo python env set ~/Downloads/Python-2.5.2 sample_data.py -a ~/workspace/GAE/google_appengine/appcfg.py upload
Is this possible? If yes, please point the way. If not, please suggest a way to call python2.5.2 WITHOUT having to uninstall python 2.7
many many thanks
Dennis
