Can I make virtualenv (and/or uwsgi) use python 3.6 instead of 2.7?

I'm figuring out to setup uwsgi and it's working so far but it's running 2.7.1; I want it to run 3.6 (which is already installed) instead.

When I run virtualenv to make a new environment to run uwsgi in, the default python --version is still python 2.7.15.

There's gotta be a way to change that right?

I'm in ubuntu 18.04.2 thanks.

Virtual environments are built into Python 3. To create a Python 3 venv, run

Code:

python3 -m venv /path/to/new/virtual/environment

Yea thanks bernbausch I asked in a python forum; turns out your advice was correct.

Here's what I did:

It's kind of a hybrid of the tutorial, their advice, and your line:

Code:

sudo apt-get install python3-venv
python3 -m venv ./myapp
cd myapp
source bin/activate

And then subsequently:

Code:

uwsgi --socket 0.0.0.0:8080 --protocol=http -w wsgi

And then in the browser it was able to talk to my hello world app.

Thanks
