I installed Spyder 3.0 and also python 2.7. I want to run python 2.7 codes with spyder 3.0 I tried to change python interpreter in spyder preferences. "Preferences->Python Interpreter-> Use the following Python interpreter". I chose Python 2.7 but it did not work. I also searched Python 2.7 executable file but I could not find it in the location usr/bin (ubuntu 18.04). How can deal with this problem?

Spyder installation is specific to one version of Python.
1) install python 2.7
2) run python2.7 -m pip install spyder
in cmd
3) you should find spyder in C:\Users\YOUR_NAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python27\Scripts\spyder.exe
(for Windows at
least)
4) You can make a shortcut of it
you should see the python version in the Spyder window title
