I have my script written in python3, but when I share the script with other users and the user has python2 environment my script won't run. Is there a way to make my py3 script run regardless of what python environment the user has? is there a way to unset their current python and set to python3(assuming I know the py3 location)?.

If I have a bash wrapper, I can export both PYTHON and PYTHONPATH variables but not sure how to do this in python. Thanks.

    Make a standalone executable from the Python script so you don't need them to have anything. Commented Oct 10, 2018 at 16:24

    I think people will be pretty unhappy with you if you start changing their path just to run your script. Commented Oct 10, 2018 at 16:34

  • This sounds like a job for virtual environments (often with virtualenv or pipenv), which are a/the sane way to handle sandboxing Python. If you can't give them a shell script to run, though, you may be out of luck; without more details on your target users and your requirements, we can't really tell. Commented Oct 11, 2018 at 5:17
