pip - using pip3 with 3.7?

Question

this should be dead simple but ive googled for ages and can't find anything on this. maybe too generic of a search.

I have several vms. centos and ubuntu.

they both always come with python3.6 which has always been fine with me. but i gotta do some devwork on an app written in 3.7. So i installed that in ubuntu using the apt-get install python3.7 which went fine but it seems the modules I install with pip3 work on in python3.6...

pip3 install future

import future

works in 3.6 but not 3.7.

What I do? -thx

Answer 1

which pip3 points to /usr/bin/pip3 hence pip3 install only installs it for python3.6.
For python3.7 you can use /path/to/python3.7 -m pip install future to install it.
