  • How to install older python version on Debian

    From Robbi Nespu@21:1/5 to All on Fri Mar 26 03:00:02 2021
    Dear Debian Python,

    I would like to install older python (version 3.6) on my venv environment

    $ inxi -S
    System: Host: debian Kernel: 5.10.0-4-amd64 x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop:
    KDE Plasma 5.20.5
    Distro: Debian GNU/Linux bullseye/sid

    (venv)$ python --version
    Python 3.9.2

    on fedora I can easily do something like this[1], but on debian I
    wondering how I can achieve the same thing, as it look like and I guess
    older python are not available directly on repository

    $ sudo apt-cache pkgnames python3.
    python3.9-venv
    python3.9-examples
    python3.9-full
    python3.9-dbg
    python3.9-dev
    python3.9-doc
    python3.9
    python3.9-minimal

    If my guest are right. Could you suggest me a solution how to have
    multiple python version so I can load inside venv?

    As I understand the question is it

    } What is the equivalent of
    } sudo dnf install python36
    } so that I can do
    } virtualenv --python=/usr/bin/python3.6 foo
    } source foo/bin/activate

    This only works as long as the version you need is in the repo. It's
    expected that a 2019 distro with 3.7 as the default may also include 3.6,
    which is somewhat different from what you expect here.

    Build it manually and install it somewhere in your user directory or use
    pyenv.

    Hello,

    I’d suggest you build it from source (python.org/ftp... with the needed version) as an additional python version, and then create your venv using the 3.6.

    You can dm me if you might need more details.

    Best regards,
    Balazs

    You can dm me if you might need more details.

    It would be great to have a python-builder package whcih generates a pythonX.Y package from the upstream sources.

    or maybe so,ething like


    python-buildpackage Python2.7-src.tar.gz -> python3.6 pacakge

    This would give a false suggestion that such a package works with packaged modules.
