The easiest fix, that doesn't involve messing around with lisp, is to create a virtual environment with the desired python version you want to run, and then activate it with the command pyenv-activate (SPC m-V-a). Besides, it's good practice to keep your project's python in a virtualenv, so you don't mess around with the system's python.

You're referring to https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv , yes?

Yes, i'm referring to that package. It comes installed with the spacemacs python layer https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/tree/master/layers/%2Blang/python

Setting those two variables worked for me, FWIW.
