Python 3 inside Sublime Text with Anaconda on a mac

Question

I cannot seem to get Python3 interpreter to build inside sublime text using Anaconda. I have tried all possible configurations but to no avail, the system does not seem recognize installed libraries and throws an importError back at me.

this is my python project's settings for anaconda:

{
    "build_systems":
    [
        {
            "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
            "name": "Anaconda Python Builder",
            "selector": "source.python",
            "shell_cmd": "\"/usr/local/bin/python3\" -u \"$file\""
        }
    ],
    "folders":
    [
        {
            "path": "Practice"
        }
    ],
    "settings":
    {
        "python_interpreter": "python3"
    }
}

edit: python3 installed with homebrew

To confirm try in your shell:

which python3
