How to make python3.2 interpreter the default interpreter in debian

Question

I got both python2 and python3 installed in my debian machine. But when i try to invoke the python interpreter by just typing \'python\' in bash, python2 pops up and not python3

Answer 1

btw, if you are using bash or running from the shell, and you normally include at the top of the file the following line:

#!/usr/bin/python

then you can change the line to instead be:

#!/usr/bin/python3

That is another way to have pythonX run instead of the default (where X is 2 or 3).
