To downgrade Python from 3.12 to 3.11.9 on GitHub Codespaces, follow these steps:

Step-by-Step Guide:
1. Check the Current Python Version
First, confirm the current Python version:

bash
Copy code
python --version
2. Install Python 3.11.9 in Codespaces
In GitHub Codespaces, you may not have the exact version of Python you need pre-installed. Here's how to install Python 3.11.9 manually:

Install pyenv (Python Version Manager): pyenv is a handy tool for managing multiple Python versions.

Install pyenv in your Codespace:

bash
Copy code
curl https://pyenv.run | bash
Configure pyenv: After installing pyenv, configure it in your shell environment by adding the following to your ~/.bashrc (or ~/.zshrc if you're using Zsh):

bash
Copy code
export PATH="$HOME/.pyenv/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init --path)"
eval "$(pyenv init -)"
eval "$(pyenv virtualenv-init -)"
Then reload your shell configuration:

bash
Copy code
source ~/.bashrc  # or source ~/.zshrc
Install Python 3.11.9: Now, use pyenv to install Python 3.11.9:

bash
Copy code
pyenv install 3.11.9
Set Python 3.11.9 as the Global Python Version: Set Python 3.11.9 as the global version for your Codespace:

bash
Copy code
pyenv global 3.11.9
Confirm the Python version after this:

bash
Copy code
python --version
3. Create Virtual Environment with Python 3.11.9
Now that Python 3.11.9 is installed, create and activate a virtual environment as usual:

bash
Copy code
python -m venv myenv
source myenv/bin/activate
You are now using Python 3.11.9 in your GitHub Codespaces environment.

4. Install Required Packages
Install any necessary packages like TensorFlow using pip inside the virtual environment:

bash
Copy code
pip install -r requirements.txt  # or manually install packages
This will ensure you are using Python 3.11.9 with all required libraries in your project.
