Python 3.8 installed on macOS Catolina, default still Python 2.7
When I open a mac terminal in Catalina Version 10 and type python, version 2.7.15 of python opens. However, if I type 'python3.8' from the terminal, version 3.8 opens.
Will there be any unintended consequence if Python 2.7 is completely eradicated from memory? Even if Python 2 must remain for some reason, how can I update my terminal so that the most current version of Python opens when the 'python' command is executed therein?
