Ned Deily <n...@python.org> added the comment: Actually, this appears to be a pip upgrade issue. If you install 3.6.5 from the python.org installers, there is no pip link there, only pip3:
$ cd /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/bin $ ls -l total 272 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 8 Apr 16 19:19 2to3 -> 2to3-3.6 -rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin 140 Mar 28 06:05 2to3-3.6 -rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin 281 Apr 16 19:19 easy_install-3.6 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 7 Apr 16 19:19 idle3 -> idle3.6 -rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin 138 Mar 28 06:05 idle3.6 -rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin 253 Apr 16 19:19 pip3 -rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin 253 Apr 16 19:19 pip3.6 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 8 Apr 16 19:19 pydoc3 -> pydoc3.6 -rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin 123 Mar 28 06:05 pydoc3.6 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 9 Apr 16 19:19 python3 -> python3.6 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 12 Apr 16 19:19 python3-32 -> python3.6-32 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 16 Apr 16 19:19 python3-config -> python3.6-config -rwxrwxr-x 2 root admin 25920 Mar 28 06:05 python3.6 -rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin 13568 Mar 28 06:05 python3.6-32 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 17 Apr 16 19:19 python3.6-config -> python3.6m-config -rwxrwxr-x 2 root admin 25920 Mar 28 06:05 python3.6m -rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin 2081 Mar 28 06:05 python3.6m-config lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 10 Apr 16 19:19 pyvenv -> pyvenv-3.6 -rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin 480 Mar 28 06:05 pyvenv-3.6 But if you then upgrade to pip 10.0.0, which I'm guessing you did, you'll see: $ ls -l [...] -rwxrwxr-x 1 root admin 138 Mar 28 06:05 idle3.6 -rwxr-xr-x 1 sysadmin admin 224 Apr 16 19:22 pip -rwxr-xr-x 1 sysadmin admin 224 Apr 16 19:22 pip3 -rwxr-xr-x 1 sysadmin admin 224 Apr 16 19:22 pip3.6 lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 8 Apr 16 19:19 pydoc3 -> pydoc3.6 [...] So it appears the pip upgrade unconditionally installs both a pip and a pip3 link. It really shouldn't. You should check the pip issue tracker and, if not already reported, open a new issue there: https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/ Thanks for the report! ---------- nosy: +Marcus.Smith, dstufft, ncoghlan, paul.moore resolution: -> third party stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue33290> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
