Re: Troubling installing Python 3 on my iMac

I guess you installed Python3.7.2 or similar

If so you can call it in a terminal with python3 not just python. Open a terminal and type python3 it should start
python 7.n is the operating system version.
It is important to use pip3 and  use virtualenv to create the python 3 environment.

use pip3 to install django in your environment.
When you look at tutorials in google or other specify python3 and >2018 so you don't get out of date tutorials of which there are hundreds.

I downloaded the file from the python website and went through the entire installation process... accepting all of the default values.  However, when I went to my Terminal window and typed python, it still shows the older version:

Python 2.7.10 (default, Feb 22 2019, 21:17:52) 

[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 10.0.1 (clang-1001.0.37.14)] on darwin

What did I do wrong?  I need to get this all setup before I can start the Django tutorial.

Thank you!
