Wing101 is defaulting to python 2.7 even though I have the latest version installed on my Mac

Question

I installed Python 3.7 for my Mac Book Pro and in Wing101 it still uses Python 2.7.. anyone who can help me out?

Answer 1

In Wing 101, you can set the Python being used in the Configure Python dialog from the Edit menu, by setting the Python Executable. Wing 101 version 6+ should really be finding and using the latest Python installation, although maybe it's installed in a place that it isn't found automatically. Wing version 5 prefers Python 2 because it's fairly old and that made more sense at the time.

Answer 2

Check this out: https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv

pyenv lets you easily switch between multiple versions of Python. It's simple, unobtrusive, and follows the UNIX tradition of single-purpose tools that do one thing well.

Quite useful tool for managing different versions of Python on your machine.

Happy Coding! :)
