yes, that can be easily solved.
If you enter:
Code:
% which python
/usr/bin/python
% ls -l /usr/bin/python
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 dec 21 2013 /usr/bin/python -> python2.7
%
you will see /usr/bin/python is actually a link, so theoretically you need only to modify it to point to python3.6.
BUT I do not suggest you to modify it at all. You
must not change it, because (almost) all of your python scripts will die - if you force to run using python3 instead of python2.
