How can I run python3 on my apache server by default? - python

I am a beginner to Python here, and I am having an issue.
In my setup, I was using a PHP script to call the command line which in turn would execute a python script. Since then, I've discovered that I can run python directly.
My problem is that 2.6 is running when I call the script directly, and I need Python 3.3 to run instead.
After looking this up, I found I need to recompile mod_python, but then I found that I want to use mod_wsgi instead which is giving me a whole series of other errors like my python3 installation not having --shared-libraries when make was ran.
I am pulling my hair out trying to do such a seemingly simple task. Is there any direction someone can point me in? Again, I am a Python beginner. Any help is apprecited!

Running Python Scripts Outside of IDLE

1- i want someone to help with this part
https://automatetheboringstuff.com/appendixb/
about Running Python Scripts Outside of IDLE and sending command line args .
2- i converted my code to .exe by pyinstaller ; what's the difference between this and running it
as a script .
3-how scripts are done . i see experienced people says :"i made a script to do something for me " how is that done >?
*i'm a beginner so try to make answers simple as possible.
If you're wondering about command line arguments, look into the "argparse" library https://docs.python.org/3/library/argparse.html.
The difference in the .exe and the normal script is that that the .exe versions (conventionally) are able to be redistributed to other sytems that don't have python installed whilst still being able to run the script. If you're only making the script for yourself the only real benefit is that you dont have to enter your IDE (code editor) every time you want to run the code, however if it's still in development then you'd have to compile the code every time you made a modification if you're wanting to run the code as an executable, which is very impractical.
Your third part is very, very vague. Python can be very versatile and i recommend you continue looking at the automatetheboringstuff.com website if you're interested in making scripts that can complete repetitive activities (although i must strongly advise you against using scripts maliciously).

Pipenv and ModuleNotFoundError

I have spent hours looking into this issue without any success.
I've looked at various SO discussions and none seem to solve my problem so out of pure frustration here is my question...
I'm trying to launch a script within a windows batch file. The problem is that when I do the script fails because it can not find some of the modules used.
After various attempts I have found that the batch file aspect, at this stage, seems to be irrelevant.
So, ignoring batch files for a minute, If I run the script like this
pipenv run python myscript.py
It works. If I run the following it doesnt
path-to-env\Scripts\activate
python myscript.py
It returns an error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xxx'
It activates the venv OK, but something is not right as it cant find code used in script
Within my IDE (Visual Code) everything works OK
I do have quite a complicated directory structure but given that both the IDE and "pipenv run python myscript.py" work as expected it must be due to something else.
Any ideas or pointers on where I need to be looking? I'm afraid my understanding of pipenv isnt up to solving this ;)
EDIT
In my attempts to solve this I had added the line PYTHONPATH=. to my .env file. This seems to be responsible for allowing this line to work:
pipenv run python myscript.py
If I remove it, then the above ALSO generates the ModuleNotFoundError
OK so after trying lots of various combinations I did finally manage to get this to work.
Although I have no idea why this solution works and others didnt..
It requires two batch files.
One to launch the python script which will contain a line like this
python myscript.py
And another to create the env via pipenv and then call the first batch file
It will have a line like this
pipenv run \path\to\first\batchfile.bat
This combination works and can be successfully called from the Windows Task Scheduler

Executing a python script REMOTELY, using another python script

I have a python script in a remote system.
I need to run the script stored in remote system from my system, and I need a python script to do so.
Both the systems are windows.
I have found many answers when I searched, but none of them was a python script.
Please help me. If possible, a python code showing an example will be extremely helpful.

My python installation on 1and1 stopped working (bashrc issue)

I installed python 2.7.10 on my 1and1 linux hosting service about 8 months ago (using instructions from http://geeksta.net/geeklog/python-shared-hosting/) and everything was working fine (I had a daily cron job that would call my python script). But recently,my python script stopped working and it appears that the call to python itself is the culprit, rather than the python code. Whenever I type 'python' into the command line in the 1and1 unix ssh session now, i get the following error message
"-bash: /kunden/homepages/26/xxxxxxxxxx/htdocs/python27/bin/python: No
such file or directory"
It's been awhile since I installed things, but I don't believe I had this issue previously. I'm trying to figure out why it's not working and what I can do to get it fixed. It appears that calling python isn't working properly (which would affect my script as well).
Any help with getting this working would be greatly appreciated.
when you type python, system find it in /kunden/homepages/26/xxxxxxxxxx/htdocs/python27/bin/python, but there is no such a file in fact.
what you need to do is trying to locate your python binary executable file, and alias your python to your file
I ended up just reinstalling python 2.7 again and it works again. Not sure why it stopped working before.
Now I can type "python" in the command line and it starts the Python console.

Run a Python script from PackageMaker in OSX

I'm having a difficult time finding any decent documentation for packaging on OSX. My package needs to run a Python script that will do some launchd magic right after the app is installed. I tried using -s scripts with packagemaker and put my script in the directory scripts, but I had no luck. Is there something I'm missing? More importantly, where is all the packagemaker documentation? How can I get my Python script to run? The only thing I've seen is this, which is way outdated and doesn't cover the command line version.
I don't want to use the GUI; it makes my life too difficult.
I've resolved this issue.
The script needs to be named postflight and have a proper shebang line.
The script needs to exit with specific status codes (0 for success, which is the default, I believe).
