Changing the python version of new anaconda to existing python version - python

I recently installed Anaconda with python 3.7 on my windows system. Prior to this I already had python 3.6 installed on my system. I just needed to check if there is any possibility to change my python version from new 3.7 to python 3.6 which is already been installed. According to my understanding changing python version in Anaconda is done using
conda install python=<version>
But this will install new version of python. I do not want to install new version but I just want to activate an existing version of python.
Can anyone please help me out with this.
Thanks in advance

Remove newer version of python using Homebrew, keeping an older version OR using site-packages in newer version

I have used python 3.8.13 as installed by Homebrew for years, mostly with jupyter-lab for coding in notebooks. Recently I ran brew to install a package and it looks like it installed python 3.10: brew list shows both python#3.8 and python#3.10 and running python3 from the command line gives me a 3.10 session, with no knowledge of my site-packages...
I either want to:
remove python 3.10 and continue using 3.8 as I was. python#3.8 would then be the python3 command as it was before.
or
change over to using python 3.10 and have all the site-packages installed when using 3.8 "come with". In particular, jupyter-lab needs to know about them in the 3.10 environment so my notebooks keep working.
Could someone help me with either of these? I'm not familiar enough with brew or python to clearly see how to do either to completion. Thanks so much.

Multiple versions of Python installed in different locations - How do I set Python 3.10 as my current version?

I am brand new to programming and installed Python 3.10 from the website (not via terminal). When I began to run code, my computer ran python 2.7 by default. In order to fix this, I installed Python with Brew which updated my default Python version to 3.9.13. However, when I now install libraries like Requests (pip3 install requests), they are installed in the Python 3.10 version I originally downloaded.
Here's where my libraries go:
requests in /usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages
My current version:
python --version Python 3.9.13
I am not sure if it is best to set default version to 3.10 or to some how install libraries in 3.9.13.
Please advise.

Python version different with anaconda version

I'm using python 3.9.0 and I want to install Anaconda, but the Anaconda not support python 3.9 yet. Is it okay if I'm still installing Anaconda ?
Anaconda actually comes with its own bundled Python and its package libraries. It is still okay if you already have Python installed on your machine.
If Python 3.9 is not necessary for your application, you can use Anaconda bundled Python version i.e Python 3.8 (latest version as now).
You can run your Python script using Anaconda virtual environment, so you will not mess up with existing Python installation.

How to find python version in anaconda continuum repo?

TensorFlow is not working in python 3.7, I wish to install anaconda with python 3.6.9, in the https://repo.continuum.io/archive/ I couldn't find which version, also the https://www.anaconda.com/distribution/#download-section having only for python 3.7.
How to find Anaconda2-5.3.1-Windows-x86.exe (in the archive) having which version of python. Looking for Windows
I am not looking to create conda env for python 3.6
By default, the detailed version is not supported.
If you want Python in version 3.6.9 (with Anaconda)
I recommend to install version 3.6. (I know you don't want...)
This seems to be a policy implemented by the Anaconda side for version-specific management.
By default Anaconda comes with Python 3.7.3, I installed that. Spyder opens with 3.7, Then in Anaconda Prompt, conda version is 4.7.10, with this Python downgrade it is not supported properly:
conda update conda
gives 4.7.11, then
conda install python=3.6.9
installs Python 3.6.9 smoothly, Spyder opens with 3.6,
Now TensorFlow works like a charm

How to install Python 3.6.6 on Mac?

How to install Python 3.6.6 on Mac? Can anyone tell me the Commit Identifier for Python 3.6.6? I can't find the link to download
You can find the latest release here -> https://www.python.org/downloads/
I suggest you use Python version 3.6.5 and install it using Anaconda. Go to this site and download Python 3.6. This will load python and many of the packages you may need to use to program in python. You also get the anaconda-navigator which is a nice package manager. Anaconda also makes it simple to use virtual environments. The anaconda documentation will walk you thru that as well as how to use the conda command. It's very good package for those who are new to python on a Mac.
