force VIM to use python3.6 in ubuntu 16.04

I'm using ubuntu 16.04 and trying to use vim plugin that requires python3.6 (YouCompleteMe). I used update-alternatives to set python3.6 as the default python and python3 interpreter but vim still using python3.5. Is there a way to tell vim to use python3.6 interpreter?

Thanks in advance

Vim uses the Python interpreters it was compiled with. No setting will affect it. If you can't find a Vim binary with the desired Python support, the only way to make Vim use Python3.6 is to compile it with Python3.6 yourself. See --enable-python3interp, --with-python3-command and --with-python3-config-dir options to Vim's configure.
