How to downgrade python 3.7 to 3.6?

Question

After updating my system via pacman (arch linux 4.18) most of the python scripts aren't working anymore (errors about missing modules, pipenv errors, vim plugins errors).

How can I revert python to 3.6?

Google didn't offer any satisfying solutions on that issue

i have same problem please tell me the solution if you fix it — devmrh, Aug 29 '18 at 11:14

Uninstall your current installation with:

$ pacman -Rdd python

and then install this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python36/

Use conda search python to select the version of python you want to downgrade to then use something like conda install python=3.6.0 if you want to downgrade to 3.6.0

Try this in your terminal/cmd:

$ brew unlink python
$ brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/e128fa1bce3377de32cbf11bd8e46f7334dfd7a6/Formula/python.rb
$ brew switch python 3.6.5
