-ha! good to hear. I receive a message like yours about once per month. seems like a niche crowd we are in, hoping to avoid brew on our mac. it was exactly what I needed also.
Oh god! Thank you so much for your answer, I had tried everything and I was going crazy with that thing, I did the same with Python 3.7 and I finally see:
$ python --version
Python 3.7.8
Hey! I tried following your above-mentioned method .. but I don't know how the path is different ...Although this method worked but will that path create any problem later on?
On my mac
which pip results in
/usr/local/bin/pip
instead of
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/pip
I’m happy to read that the steps worked for you. The subject of the post I responded to was setting up Python 3 to be the default. From what I can tell, that is what you now have. My goal was to show how I did this directly versus using a package manager like Brew, but not everyone is comfortable with this approach. It looks like you are good to go if you want to work in Python 3 by default.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
Worked! Thanks!
I'm not saying anyone would want to install Python 3 without brew, but if they did, pip3 gets installed:
$ pip3 --version
pip 19.2.3 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pip (python 3.8)
$ pip3 install --upgrade pip

$ which pip

Now, Irfan's handy command:
sudo ln -s -f /usr/local/bin/python3.8 /usr/local/bin/python
close/open terminal
$ python --version
Python 3.8.2
yay Irfan!
Thank you for sharing. It saved my day.
