Specify the absolute path to the version of Python. For example, if Python version 3 is located at /usr/bin/python3 and Python version 2 is located at /usr/bin/python2:

Python 3 Build Configuration:

{
    "cmd": ["/usr/bin/python3", "-u", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
    "selector": "source.python",
    "shell": true
}

Python 2 Build Configuration:

{
    "cmd": ["/usr/bin/python2", "-u", "$file"],
    "file_regex": "^[ ]*File \"(...*?)\", line ([0-9]*)",
    "selector": "source.python",
    "shell": true
}

Find the location of Python via which:

$ which python
/usr/bin/python

$ which python3
/usr/bin/python3

$ which python2
/usr/bin/python2
