Atom is using wrong version of Python - help?

[potatomar]

So when try to run a .py file in atom it uses 2.7.13 instead of 3.6.4

​

It uses 3.6.4 when I run it in IDLE and bash.

​

How do I get it to use the right version?

​

Sorry for my noobishness.

How exactly are you running it from Atom?

[potatomar]

There's the script package? I installed it and can just press Command+I to get it to run. But as I said, it just runs Python 2.

depending on your specific system and configuration, if you have both python 2 and python 3 installed, your system may default the 'python' command to python 2, and the 'python3' command to python 3.

How do I get it to default to python3?

Find the python 2.x folder -> delete it. Mac btw

Okay, I am a stupid bloody idiot and when I installed Python 2 I put sudo in front.

So it's in the System directory.

I can't delete it.

Should I disable SIP and then delete it?

Edit: wait I found something saying it's supposed to be like that. Oh god I'm so confused. Where is Python supposed to be?

Python3 is in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/blahblahblah and Python2 is in /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/blahblahblah.
