Answer 1

"Edit the Pipfile" is the right way to go if you want to change the Python version of an existing environment.

If you want to create a new environment using Python 3.6, you can run

pipenv install --python 3.6

rather than

pipenv install --three

and that should do the trick.

Just be certain to delete the old Pipfile(s) if you create the new environment or else the commands will fail.
