Homebrew not installing the correct version of Python

Question

I was trying to install Python 3.7 using homebrew with "brew install python". When I check the version of python installed, I get python 2.7.10. Anyone know how to fix this?

Answer 1

Most likely you need to call python 3.7 commands with

python3

and install packages with

pip3 

as well, also check your $PATH configuration, as is it usually takes the OSx python as default in Macs
