How to associate IDLE 3.6.2 with Python 3.6.2 in CentOS 7

Question

CentOS 7 comes with Python2.7.5

I installed Python 3.6.2 , and was able to launch IDLE 3.6.2 in terminal by typing IDLE 3.6.2 .

However, when I run using F5, I am still getting Python 2.7.5 instead of python 3.6.2.

I tried doing

./configure

make altinstall

didnt resolve the issue. How can I resolve this issue?

I found that using Inline with Upstream Stable is the easiest to get Python 3.6 on Centos machines. Here is the full tutorial I found on the subject: tutorial .

Depending on your needs, alternative solution could be to use Anaconda distribution that doesn't require root to be installed. (sorry for lack of link but I am limited to post only two, it is easy to google though).
