I have installed python3.6.1 I want to make it the default for the system when python is called. I also want IDLE to open to that version.
After installing python3.6.1:
Requirement already up-to-date: setuptools in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages
Requirement already up-to-date: pip in /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages
After running alias python=python3
- python runs 3.5.2
- IDLE3 also runs 3.5.2
/usr/bin $ ls | grep python
