Pyenv
Popular Python version management tool. Pyenv allows you to easily install and switch between multiple Python versions on the same machine.
Source: https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv
Installation in Kali
Check out Pyenv where you want it installed. A good place to choose is $HOME/.pyenv (but you can install it somewhere else):
Optionally, try to compile a dynamic Bash extension to speed up Pyenv. Don't worry if it fails; Pyenv will still work normally:
Define environment variable PYENV_ROOT to point to the path where Pyenv will store its data. $HOME/.pyenv is the default. If you installed Pyenv via Git checkout, we recommend to set it to the same location as where you cloned it.
Add the pyenv executable to your PATH if it's not already there
run eval "$(pyenv init -)" to install pyenv into your shell as a shell function, enable shims and autocompletion
Then, if you have ~/.profile, ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bash_login, add the commands there as well. If you have none of these, add them to ~/.profile. No need in this case, where we have ~/.zshrc.
If you wish to get Pyenv in noninteractive login shells as well, also add the commands to ~/.zprofile or ~/.zlogin.
