python
points to my system's default python interpreter, instead of my pyenv
python interpreter.
I created the python virtual environment and activated it as follows:
pyenv virtualenv 3.8.12 test3
pyenv activate test3
Then, running python
gives me a python 3.7 interpreter (which is my system's default python interpreter), instead of 3.8.12. Why?
Full command outputs:
root@server:/home/code-base/f# pyenv virtualenv 3.8.12 test3

pyenv-virtualenv: prompt changing will be removed from future release. configure `export PYENV_VIRTUALENV_DISABLE_PROMPT=1' to simulate the behavior.

CodePudding user response:
Two possible solutions here:
Either you did not select your 3.8.12 binary as a system default via:
$ pyenv global 3.8.12
$ python -V
Python 3.8.12
$ pyenv versions
system
2.7.15
* 3.8.12 (set by /home/realpython/.pyenv/version)
or /opt/conda/bin/
has a higher priority in your $PATH
then your pyenv installation.
CodePudding user response:
- Install version of python you need.
pyenv install 3.8.12
- Activate it on your application directory
pyenv local 3.8.12
- Then locate python version
$ pyenv which python
/home/xirehat/.pyenv/versions/3.8.12/bin/python
