I already have python3 installed on the server machine, I want to replace that with python 2.7 as the code I have to deploy is complaint with python 2.7.



What command to run so python application.py runs it on python 2.7

          To control which version of python add this line to top of your script



          #!/usr/bin/env python2


          alternatively execute your python script using your chosen python version



          /usr/bin/python2 /full/path/my/script


          similar steps will enable you to use python3 instead of python2 assuming your script imports are 3
