I am using OSX and I have pip installed for both Python3.5 and Python2.7. I know I can run the command pip2 to use Python2 and when I use the command pip3 Python3.x will be used. The problem is that the default of pip is set to Python2.7 and I want it to be Python3.x.
How can I change that?
edit: No, I am not running a virtual environment yet. If it was a virtual environment I could just run Python3.x and forget all about Python2.7, unfortunately since OSX requires Python2.7 for it's use I can't do that. Hence why I'm asking this.
Thanks for the answer. I however don't want to change what running python does. Instead I would like to change the path that running pip takes. At the moment pip -V shows me pip 8.1.2 from /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (python 2.7), but I am looking for pip 8.1.2 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.5/lib/python3.5/site-packages (python 3.5) I am sure there has to be a way to do this. Any ideas?

Install setuptools for Python3 : apt-get install python3-setuptools. Now pip for Python3 could be installed by: python3 -m easy_install pip. Now you can use pip with the specific version of Python to install package for Python 3 by: pip-3.2 install [package]
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.
The approach you should take is to install pip for Python 3.2. Then, you can install things for Python 3.2 with pip-3.2 , and install things for Python 2-7 with pip-2.7 .
You can run “pip install --upgrade pip” to install and use the new version of pip. To update pip2 or pip3 using this command, only replace the first pip with the pip version.
Run this:
pip3 install --upgrade --force pip or even more explicit:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade --force pip This will install pip for Python 3 and make Python 3 version of pip default.
