python调用ipython,如何让iPython使用Python 2而不是Python 3

I have both Python 2.7 and 3.5 installed. If I run a script from the command line using python, it uses Python 2.7, but if I launch iPython, it uses Python 3:

kurt@kurt-ThinkPad:~$ python -V

Python 2.7.12

kurt@kurt-ThinkPad:~$ ipython

Python 3.5.2 (default, Sep 10 2016, 08:21:44)

Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Is there a way to launch iPython so that it uses Python 2? (I'm using Ubuntu LTS 16.04).

解决方案

Following ipython reads wrong python version, in /usr/local/bin/ipython, I simply changed

#!/usr/bin/python3

in the first line to

#!/usr/bin/python

and Python 2 has become the default version used by iPython:

kurt@kurt-ThinkPad:~$ ipython
