centos 6.8 comes with python 2.6. But I want to use python 2.7 to build gstreamer sdk. I have built python 2.7 and installed it into my custom directory. How to set centos to use python 2.7 by default instead of python 2.6?
Don't. If you try to swap out the standard python with another one, expect almost everything you hold dear to break.
Not a python programmer, so forgive my ignorance.
On my Fedora system python 2.7 and 3.? peacefully co-exist. And I thought 2.6 and 2.7 did as well.
The python manpage lists a couple of environment variables related to version.
Could you have both installed and when building or testing set your environment to the desired version?
