Python: aliased to python3


I tried to upgrade python 2.7 to python 3 and I modified the file ~/.bash_aliases but when I type python in elementary terminal I get this error

zsh: command not found: python3

and when I type which python

python: aliased to python3

actually I prefer return to python 2.7 or if someone know how can I fix this :c


Solution

  • Go into your .zshrc file. Is there a line that reads:

    alias python='python3'

    If so, remove that line. Else, check if you can run python2, python2.7, or something like that. If so, then just hack and add the line

    alias python='python2'

    Or whatever your python2 is. Else, type

    sudo apt-get install python2.7

    Or whatever is the appropriate method for installing programs on your system.
