At times you may want to change the version of Python to a specific version instead of the default of your system. In such case you can try making aliases.
First let's try to get the list of all Python versions installed on the device.
# ls -ltrh /usr/bin/python*
-rwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 21K Feb 10 2023 /usr/bin/python
-rwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 3.4M Feb 10 2023 /usr/bin/python2.7
-rwxr-xr-x 5 root wheel 3.4M Feb 10 2023 /usr/bin/python2.7-config
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 75B Feb 10 2023 /usr/bin/python2 -> ../../System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python2.7
-rwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 23K Feb 10 2023 /usr/bin/python3
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 76B Feb 10 2023 /usr/bin/python3.7 -> ../../System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/python3.7
-rwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 3.5M Jun 3 2023 /usr/bin/python3.8
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 76B Jun 3 2023 /usr/bin/python3.8-config -> ../../System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3.8-config
-rwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 3.5M Jun 3 2023 /usr/bin/python3.8-config
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 79B Jun 3 2023 /usr/bin/python3.8-config -> ../../System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3.8-config
-rwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 3.5M Jun 3 2023 /usr/bin/python3.8Let's say I want Python 3.7 to be the default one and others can be aliased to python38 and python27
alias python='/usr/bin/python3.7'
alias python38='/usr/bin/python3.8'
alias python2='/usr/bin/python2.7'based on your preferences, save this in .zshrc or .bash_profile and reload the shell.
# python --version
Python 3.8
