Use different Python version with virtualenv

To use a different Python version with virtualenv, follow these steps:

  1. Install the desired Python version. If it is not already installed on your system, you can download it from the official Python website (https://www.python.org/) or use a package manager like pip or conda to install it.

  2. Create a virtual environment. To create a virtual environment, run the following command in your terminal:

virtualenv myenv -p python3.8

Replace "python3.8" with the path to your desired Python executable.

  1. Activate the virtual environment. To activate the virtual environment, run the following command:
source myenv/bin/activate
  1. Check the Python version. To check the Python version in your virtual environment, run the following command:
python -V

This will print the version of Python being used in your virtual environment.

  1. Deactivate the virtual environment. To deactivate the virtual environment, run the following command:
deactivate
