How to override the pip command to Python3.x instead of Python2.7?

Question

I am using OSX and I have pip installed for both Python3.5 and Python2.7. I know I can run the command pip2 to use Python2 and when I use the command pip3

Answer 1

I always just run it via Python itself, this way:

python3 -m pip install some_module

or

python2 -m pip install some_module

The -m calls the __main__.py module of a specified package. Pip supports this.
