切换到蟒蛇的蟒蛇安装

Question

I installed Python 2.7 on my computer awhile ago, and I believe I did not use Anaconda. I added Python 3.6 recently using an Anaconda environment, and am appreciating the benefits of using that. Is there a (somewhat) easy way to uninstall/reinstall Python 2.7 to be in the Anaconda environment as well so I can easily switch between them?

Update -- if I create an environment for Python 2.7 by doing the following, and Python 2.7 is already on my computer, does this reinstall Python 2.7?

$ conda create -n py2 python=2.7 anaconda

Answer 1

You can uninstall Python 2.7 from your computer (not necessary though). After you have done so, you can use Anaconda to create a Python 2.7 virtual environment. This will allow you easily switch between Python 2.7 and 3.6.
