Change python version to run cutadapt

Hi everyone!

I want to run cutadapt with a lot of shotgun sequences, but it takes to much time to run. Reading the documentation of this tool I found that multithreading is support but only when Python 3.3 or later is used. By default, my python version is 2.7 but I also have installed python 3.4. I'm working as a user in a server and until now I don't have permissions to change the default version.

There is an option to run the program with other versions of python rather than default?

Thank you so much

Hello,

which operating are you using? If you are under linux you could try setting an alias for python in you .bashrc

$ echo 'alias python="/usr/bin/python3.4"' >> ~/.bashrc

(Restart the terminal afterwards)

Another way is to use bioconda (You can take a look at the first part of a tutorial I've wrote on how to use it)

Hi Kevin! I Tried the @finswimmer solution but a "permission" message appear. Tomorrow I will talk to my system administrator and I will try again.

I will keep you notified. Regards!
