How do I change default Python version from 3.5 to 2.7 in Anaconda
Without root access, how do I change the default Python from 3.5 to 2.7 for my specific user? Would like to know how to run Python scripts with Python 2 as well.
If I start up Python by running simply python then it runs 3.5.2. I have to specifically run python2 at the terminal prompt to get a version of python2 up.
If I run which python, then /data/apps/anaconda3/bin/python gets returned and I believe Python 2.7 is under /usr/bin/python.
This is on CentOS if that helps clarify anything

If you are looking to change the python interpreter in anaconda from 3.5 to 2.7 for the user, try the command conda install python=2.7
