I’m running Ubuntu to compile a set of code which requires python 2.4.
How can I setup a terminal launcher so that when I open that launcher all python related commands will use python 2.4 instead of the python 2.6 that is defaulted in Ubuntu?
Set a
bashalias in that shell session:alias python=python2.4(assuming python2.4 is in your $PATH of course). This way you won’t have to remember to explicitly type the2.4a zillion times in that terminal — which is what bash aliases are for!-)
