After successful installation of Anaconda on Windows 7 I realized the default Python version is 2.7.8. However I need 2.7.9. So how do I upgrade?
Launce anaconda navigator and install spyder 3.3. 6 on both the environments Launch spyder on the environment with Python 3.6 Preferences-->Python Interpreter --> set the Python path for 2.7 Restart Spyder Done!
All you have to do is visit the Python downloads page and download the latest version. Clicking on the button will replace the existing version of Python with the new version. The older version will be removed from your computer. After you restart the computer, the new patch will be installed on your machine.
Unfortunately, you cannot update Python in the root environment of Anaconda on Windows. See https://stackoverflow.com/a/29238416/161801.
Your anaconda
installation ships its own package manager conda
. You can use it for updating python packages and also the python interpreter.
To update the python interpreter in your default environment, all you have to do is executing the command below from command line:
conda update python
