How to choose python3 if python command directs to python2

[saifsmailbox98]

I have both python2 and python3 installed on my Mac. The python command directs to python2 and not python3. The extension picks up python2 by default. How to configure it to use python3 as the interpreter?

You need to set up the alias on your own.
For example, in bash, it is possible to do
alias python=python3.
I'm not aware of how to do it for a mac, but you can search on the web.

@saifsmailbox98, you can put alias python=python3 in the ~/.bashrc file, in a new line
