No, you can't. "python" should mean Python 2.x. If you want to use Python 3, invoke it as "python3". BUT: you should have a good reason to switch to Python 3. Your existing Python programs WILL NOT WORK with Python 3. They will require porting from Python 2 to Python 3, and that is not always a simple task, especially when you are dealing with text, such as on a web site. I strongly recommend that you stay on Python 2, and focus on other concerns. "I want the latest Python" is probably not a good enough reason to switch. --Ned. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
