'''THIS PAGE APPLIES TO THE OLD RDP SERVER, NOT THE NEW AND CURRENT ONE'''
There are two production versions of Python: Python 2 and Python 3.
=== Manually Defining Explicit Python Binary Executables ===
A common practice is to have a bunch of specific Python commands to force explicit behavior. For example on Ubuntu, you can choose from running python, python2, python 2.6, python2.7, python3, python3.5, etc in the shell. To emulate this behavior, copy and paste the <code>python.exe</code> and rename it to <code>pythonN.exe</code> where N is whatever specific version you copied. The same applies to scripts you want to use like <code>pip</code>: copy-and-paste the file to a more explicit name.
Path is evaluated with the first entries taking precedence. Thus, whichever version of Python you want to be the default should be listed at the leftmost position on the string. You can also just delete the unregistered python.exe to achieve the same result.
# Select the Advanced Tab
# Select "Environment Variables..." at the bottom right
# Add semicolon-separated directories to Path in the lower box labeled System Variables See [http://mcnair.bakerinstitute.org/wiki/File:Path-example.PNG File:Path-example.PNG] for an example.
