I already have Python 3 installed on the server machine, and I want to replace that with Python 2.7 as the code I have to deploy is complaint with Python 2.7.



What command should I run so Python application.py runs it on Python 2.7?






python python-2.7

    I wouldn't recommend you replace your python version as that might (most probably) break something on the machine. Instead, install something like virtualenv.

To control which version of Python, add this line to the 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 Python 3 instead of Python 2, assuming your script imports are 3.

            One-line joke

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala
