Configure Sublime Text to use Python3

Question

I added the following build script:

{
"cmd": ["/usr/local/bin/python3", "$file"]
, "selector": "source.python"
, "file_regex": "file \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]+)"
}

when I run which python3in terminal, i get the following: /usr/local/bin/python3 which tells me that I have the correct path in the Sublime file.

However, when i run

import sys 
print(sys.version)

i still get

2.7.10 (default, Feb  7 2017, 00:08:15) 
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.34)]
[Finished in 0.1s]

I saved this new build system file under

Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/User/Python3.sublime-build

I have looked through the related questions and even following those suggestions to the T is not working for me for whatever reason. — , Jun 18 '17 at 18:06
did you select your new build system from the Tools menu -> Build System? — Keith Hall, Jun 19 '17 at 06:16
@KeithHall Wow, well that is surely embarrassing. Thanks for your help! — , Jun 19 '17 at 17:56

As @KeithHall pointed out, I haven't actually selected the new build system.
