linux快速切换默认python版本

1、首先查看当前默认python版本：Python 2.7.6

root@Corleone:/mySoftWare/WxRobot# python -V
Python 2.7.6

2、将默认版本切换为python3.4

我们可以使用update-alternatives为整个系统更改默认python版本。以root用户登录，首先罗列出所有可用python版本信息： 

root@Corleone:/mySoftWare/WxRobot# update-alternatives --list python
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for python

3、如果出现以上所示的错误信息，则表示 Python 的替代版本尚未被 update-alternatives 命令识别。想解决这个问题，我们需要更新一下替代列表，将 python2.7 和 python3.4 放入其中：

root@Corleone:/mySoftWare/WxRobot# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 1
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/python2.7 to provide /usr/bin/python (python) in auto mode
root@Corleone:/mySoftWare/WxRobot# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3.4 2
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/python3.4 to provide /usr/bin/python (python) in auto mode

 --install 选项使用了多个参数用于创建符号链接。最后一个参数指定了此选项的优先级，如果我们没有手动来设置替代选项，那么具有最高优先级的选项就会被选中。这个例子中，我们为 /usr/bin/python3.4 设置的优先级为2，所以update-alternatives 命令会自动将它设置为默认 Python 版本。再次查看当前默认版本：

root@Corleone:/mySoftWare/WxRobot# python -V
Python 3.4.3

4、罗列可用的Python替代版本

root@Corleone:/mySoftWare/WxRobot# update-alternatives --list python
/usr/bin/python2.7
/usr/bin/python3.4

5、可以如下命令快速切换默认版本

update-alternatives --config python

root@Corleone:/mySoftWare/WxRobot# update-alternatives --config python
There are 2 choices for the alternative python (providing /usr/bin/python).

  Selection    Path                Priority   Status
