Answer 1

When setting up your pipenv you can specify the version of Python by using: pipenv --python 3.6, to use Python3.6.

Editing the Pipfile also works, by changing:

[requires] python_version = "3.6.6"

to the specific version of Python you want.

If you did all of this and are still having trouble with accessing the correct version of Python from within pipenv shell then you might want to check your .bashrc file to be sure that you don't have an alias for a specific version of Python.
