How to switch to python 2.7 from python 3- jupyter notebook

Question

I am running a Jupyter notebook instance and it has both python 2 and python 3 kernels. However, when i use the python 2 kernel and execute below statements,

import sys sys.executable

I get python 3 path

'/usr/bin/python3.4'

How do i force it to use python 2.7

If you haven't done already restart the Kernel in the Kernel dropdown menu. If that isn't the problem I would just reinstall the kernel. You are not using Conda by any chance? — J. Schneider
