On the computer without public IP:

ssh -R 2222:localhost:22 loginOfServerWithPublicIP@publicIP

This connects to the server by SSH and builds a tunnel from the server with public IP on port 2222 to the computer without public IP on port 22 (SSH).

And then on the server:

ssh -p 2222 loginOfComputerWithoutPublicIP@locahost

Change python version system-wide

To change python version system-wide we can use update-alternatives command. Logged in as a root user, first list all available python alternatives:

# update-alternatives --list python
update-alternatives: error: no alternatives for python

The above error message means that no python alternatives has been recognized by update-alternatives command. For this reason we need to update our alternatives table and include both python2.7 and python3.4:

# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 1
update-alternatives: using /usr/bin/python2.7 to provide /usr/bin/python (python) in auto mode
