I just started using django. OS I'm using: Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS. I created a virtual environment named mydjangoblog and i installed there django. By default it has python2 inside the folder mydjangoblog/bin I prefer that django use python3 rather than python2. HOw can I manage it?

I discovered that when I type "python" inside the terminal python2 opens. This is because The python link points to python2 according to the PEP.

this is the content of the bin folder of the virtual environment

    "My problem is that it uses by default python 2 which is installed in my Comupetr"—not exactly. It uses the Python from the environment in which you install it. Create a virtual environment using Python 3 and install Django there. This is likely a much better idea (and if your OS comes with Python a much _safer_ idea) than changing your default Python. It also has the benefit of not polluting your global Python package space. – ChrisGPT was on strike Apr 21 '19 at 19:28

  • When creating the virtualenv, use `-p path_to_python3` – DanielM Apr 21 '19 at 22:28
