Virtual environment pip points to older version

Python 3.5, later 3.6 installed with homebrew and django with virtual environments with pip.

Somehow the normal env shows version 3.6 of Python and 3.5 whithin virtual environment, like this: 

MacBook-Pro-Frank:~ Frank$ pip3 --version
pip 9.0.3 from /usr/local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (python 3.6)

MacBook-Pro-Frank:~ Frank$ pipenv shell
Spawning environment shell (/bin/bash). Use 'exit' to leave.
bash-3.2$ . /Users/Frank/.local/share/virtualenvs/Frank-ZvIKOxyS/bin/activate

(Frank-ZvIKOxyS) bash-3.2$ pip3 --version
pip 9.0.1 from /Users/Frank/.local/share/virtualenvs/Frank-ZvIKOxyS/lib/python3.5/site-packages (python 3.5)
(Frank-ZvIKOxyS) bash-3.2$

Could someone please tell me how to begin repairing this. Searching for over 30 hours for this..

I'm on a Macbook macOS 10.13.4.

I know it's not a programming question but I would like to start programming and this is a prerequisite..

If you want to use a specific version of python when creating the virtualenv you should use the --python flag:

virtualenv --python=/usr/local/lib/python3.6 <path/to/new/virtualenv/>

If you are using pipenv as this is the case just use:

pipenv --python 3.6
