Use different Python version with virtualenv

Question

I have a Debian system currently running with python 2.5.4. I got virtualenv properly installed, everything is working fine. Is there a possibility that I can use a virtuale

Answer 1

UBUNTU 19.04 / Global Python 3.7.

This worked for me, enabling a Python 3.8 environment using the recommended venv for python 3 development.

Install 3.8 and 3.8 venv module

$ sudo apt install python3.8 python3.8-venv ## plus any other modules you need

Create your Virtual Env using the python version you want in that env

$ /usr/bin/python3.8 -m venv python38-env

switch into your virtual env

$ source python38-env/bin/activate

python -V = python 3.8
