How to get python 3.5.1 running with heroku local?

Question

I have been following this quick start: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/getting-started-with-python

but was wondering how I could get 'heroku local' to run with python 3.5.1? I already changed runtime.txt to set it to python 3.5.1, but still it would load up 2.7's dependencies.

Thanks!

Solved! You could also have defined your local procfile and launch everytime heroku local -f local.procfile but that's boring. So I asked for support in heroku local repo on Github (here) and I liked a lot the solution he gave me.

Basically you add /bin folder in your PATH like this: export PATH=./bin:$PATH and then in the root of your project you do ln -s $(which python3) ./bin/python in order to create a symlink only in the scope of your project!
