How do I make pip point to pip for python 3.7 instead of python 3.6?

Everytime I try to update pip for version 3.7 of python it just does it for python 3.6.

python --version returns 3.7.3, but pip --version returns the version with (python 3.6) at the end in parentheses

This isn't the specific answer you are looking for, but it should be worth noting that just using pip can get nasty on systems with multiple python environments installed (hence, your SO question here!)

I'd suggest that you consider targeting your python binary, and then use pip from there:

/path/to/python -m pip <pip commands here>

With this, you will never be confused about which python is getting packages installed to it. It's drawn out, and it's not fun to type all that, but with multiple python environments on a system, it can save a headache and avoid future confusion!

pip3.7 [command]

You could make an alias which you update whenever you want to update the version of pip you are using.
