Python

Switch to Python3 instead of Python2

# special package which set aliases for you
sudo apt-get install python-is-python3

# remove leftovers of python 2
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge

Fix pip

1

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/pip pip /usr/bin/pip3 1

So we don’t need to type pip3 but normal pip will do.

Fix ipython

This works:

1
2

# if installed without sudo
python -m IPython

But to be able to start it simply by ipython you must type with sudo:

1

sudo pip install ipython

Now, normal command ipython works

About IPython

How is this interpreter an improvement over the default interpreter?

1. Run Native Shell Commands
2. Syntax Highlighting
3. Proper Indentation
4. Tab Completion
5. Documentation (suffix command with ?)

python --version
pip --version
ipython --version
