Set Python version from script

Question

I have installed a Python module to python 2.7 on my space. I can import the module if I start python with python2.7 on the shell then do import modulename. But I can't import the module if I am running an actual python file as a script. I tried #!/usr/local/bin/python2.7 as the first line but it's still not working. So, how do I run a python script as a certain version of python so I can use a module I imported for that version?

When you are running the script you can specify the python version number by appending the python command with the version. For example:

python2.7 /path/to/script

From cron you need to use the full path to the executable:

/usr/local/bin/python2.7 /path/to/script

I should have specified — I mean when running from the browser. For example if someone navigates to example.com/blah.py it should use python2.7.

Using the shebang #!/usr/local/bin/python2.7 should set to python2.7. You can also try #! /usr/bin/env python2.7. If neither work, Please open a ticket at our support site, and we'll help you find a solution.
