Pip安装到python3.6但是我在Ubuntu 18.04上使用带有VS Code的python3.7

Question

I am new to python and ubuntu to be fair. I have been recently following a couple of tutorials and they use pylint to check the syntax of the python code.

I've installed it as normal through the terminal using 'sudo pip3 install pylint', however whenever I format in VS Code I get an error stating pylint does not exist, do I want to install. On the attempt to install, i get another error due to pip not existing.

I've looked in the terminal after attempting to reinstall pip and pylint, however it's going to the python3.6 folder and not python3.7 folder, hence the errors.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Pip output is currently: "pip 9.0.1 from /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages (python 3.6)"

If i try to install pylint via the terminal using "python3 -m pip install pylint", I get the output error of: "/usr/local/bin/python3: No module named pip"

After following stovfl's suggestions i realised that python 3 needed redirecting to the 3.7 install

I googled and found this article: http://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2017/07/install-python-3-6-1-in-ubuntu-16-04-lts/

At step 3, it tells you how to make python3 use the new install with the following command:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/local/bin/python3 python3 /usr/bin/python3.7 1

Now when I intall pip and pylint it directs to the new 3.7 folder. Meaning it also works as intended with VS Code.
