I'm just starting to learn Python and did search around a little, so forgive me if this has been asked and answered.
When running scripts through the command line/terminal, I have to type "python3" to run the latest version of Python. With Python 2.X I just use "python".
Is there a way to run Python 3 just using "python"? It may seem a little lazy, but I'm mostly just curious if it is possible or if it will break anything unnecessarily if I could in fact do it.

To start a Python interactive session, just open a command-line or terminal and then type in python , or python3 depending on your Python installation, and then hit Enter .
We can convert Python2 scripts to Python3 scripts by using 2to3 module. It changes Python2 syntax to Python3 syntax. We can change all the files in a particular folder from python2 to python3.
If you are using Linux, add the following into into ~/.bashrc alias python=python3 Restart the shell and type python and python3 should start instead of python2.
