"pyenv versions" and "python -V" showing different versions

I need to use python 3.8. I installed it using the following command:

pyenv install 3.8.1

Now the output of pyenv versions is:

  system
* 3.8.1 (set by /Users/username/.pyenv/version)

Output of python -V:

Python 2.7.16

Why are they different?

I had the exact same issue after installing oh-my-zsh. What solved it for me was:

  1. Add pyenv to the plugins list on .zshrc:

    plugins=(git pyenv)

  2. Almost at the top of the file, just under these lines:

    # Path to your oh-my-zsh installation.
export ZSH="$HOME/.oh-my-zsh"

    I added these lines:

    export PYENV_ROOT="$HOME/.pyenv"
export PATH="$PYENV_ROOT/bin:$PATH"
eval "$(pyenv init --path)"

And then I relaunched the terminal and everything was fine! (that is, the python version was the same)

Try eval "$(pyenv init --path)". That worked for me.
