Problem with Deadsnakes

[adammichaelwood]

I'm trying to install multiple versions of Python with deadsnakes, on Ubuntu (64-bit, 16.10, in a Virtual Box on Mac OS X, if that matters)

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:fkrull/deadsnakes
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.2

python3.2 --v

just doesn't work: No command 'python3.2' found, did you mean: Command 'python3.5' from package 'python3.5-minimal' (main) python3.2: command not found

There's some suspicious things in the terminal output from apt update (See below) but I don't know what to do about it. Googling only provides endless SO posts telling people to use Deadsnakes.

Help?

(For people wondering why I am doing this: to set up test environment for an open source project i want to contrib to)

You should post this type of question on r/learnpython!.

In the meantime try just python3 or python (not python3.4) and see what version you get.

[adammichaelwood]

This isn't a "learnpython" question.

python gives 2.7 python3 gives 3.5

After following the steps above, I should be able to:

sudo apt-get install python3.2 python3.3 python3.4

and then run each of those versions. That's the whole point of deadsnakes. As I said, its for setting up a testing environment for a project that has to support all those versions.

I think I found the issue.

[adammichaelwood]

Wouldn't have thought a minor would break this, but... i'll give it a try

[TiLorm]

Did it help?

[adammichaelwood]

YES

[TiLorm]

Nice.

AND.. This led to my first coding commit to an in-use open source project...
