downgrade python version from 3.8 to lower one in a given conda environment

In one existing conda environment, the python is 3.8. Is that possible to downgrade the python version for this specific environment from 3.8 to 3.6 or 3.7?

Check this, Open your terminal and search for available versions using the following command.

conda search python

If the python version you are searching is available then use the command 

conda install python=3.8 (0r 3.6 or 3.7 depending to your requirement)

This will change the python version in a specific environment.

Note: This command will overwrite the default python version.

I suggest you open a new conda environment using the following command. 

conda create --name py38 python=3.8 
//This lines will create a new environment named py38

Now you can work into this environment without interfering with the libraries of the other environment.

Hope this will help you.
