Using multiple versions of Python with Navigator
================================================

With Navigator you can have different versions of Python on your computer
and easily switch between them by keeping them in different **environments**.

To use a different version of Python than the one you are currently using,
set up a new environment:

#. In Navigator, click the Environments tab, then click the Create button.
   The Create new environment dialog box appears.
#. In the Environment name field, type a descriptive name for your environment.

#. In the Packages list select "Python" and in the Python version list select the version you want to use.
#. Click the Create button.
#. Navigator creates the new environment and activates it, as shown by the highlighted green bar.
   All actions take place in the active environment.
