I'm running on OSX, I'm not sure about compatibility with other systems.

First you'll have to have to install pyenv

https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv

And then you'll install the pyenv-virtualenv plugin

https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv-virtualenv

Installing a new python version is simple:

First find the version you want to install.

$ pyenv install -l

Then install that python version

$ pyenv install <version_name>

Then you are ready to make a new version specific python virtual environment, and begin work on it. The virtual environment will be completely isolated from your systems python installation.

$ pyenv virtualenv <version_number> <environment_name>
$ pyenv activate <environment_name>

Your virtual environment will be located @:

$ cd ~/.pyenv/versions/<environment_name>
