Answer 1

alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python3.5

and then back if you want to

alternatives --set python /usr/bin/python2.7

If you want to see what it currently points to

alternatives --display python

This is a system-wide setting not just for the current user. The system settings are stored in /etc/alternatives
