You shouldn't have any problems finding articles, documentation and blogs about virtualenv, it's been around for decades and people have been writing about it all that time. You can again install virtualenv using zypper or YaST Software Manager but here are the software search links Pyenv is the more modern, recommended tool.īut, some might find the older virtualenv easier to use. The software links to installing pyenv (but you should be able to find and isntall using zypper or YaST Software Manager) There are other blogs and documentation that describe more extensively and in detail The pyenv source (github) default page has a good introduction and brief description of the utility. When you use these management tools, you are then able to access the PyPi repositories using pip and pip3 (they're the python equivalents of our native zypper and rpm tools). You can install the python management tools pyenv and virtualenv from your default repos. Can you please let me know the best way to do this is on OpenSUSE. If this is a matter of adding it to my path.
#Python update 2.7.9 how to
I'd really appreciate being pointed in the right direction if there's a guide somewhere or a reply on how to finish the install so the system sees 2.7.9. I have Python3 installed (version 3.6.10) but haven't installed Python2 from the repos as this would be version 2.7.17 I think and I don't need that for anything else as far as I know. I've gone through the alternatives section in YaST2 but Python is not listed as an option. However I don't know how to update alternatives. I've downloaded the tarball, compiled and installed it to /opt.
I use X-Plane 11 flight simulator and a particular plugin requires specifically Python 2.7.9 (I know, I know) and I'm trying to install it. Sorry, been using Linux a while but pretty inexperienced when heading off the beaten path, I'm also not familiar with OpenSUSE, having been using it only a matter of hours.
