Potential for confusion on Pipenv & Virtual Environments

Beginne mit dem Vergleich der Seiten Installing Python 3 on Mac OS X und Pipenv & Virtual Environments, insbesondere ihrer Anweisungen zum Überprüfen der Python-Version. Kläre, welcher Befehl für Python 3 verwendet werden sollte, und erkläre die unterschiedlichen Befehle python, python2 und python3; die Dokumentation ist fertig, wenn die Einrichtungsanleitung für die beschriebene macOS-Umgebung eindeutig ist.

I arrived on the Pipenv & Virtual Environments page from Installing Python 3 on Mac OS X. At that point, I've have installed python2 and python3 via homebrew and there is also the system python. Installing Python 3 on Mac OS X clearly states that

Working with Python 3
At this point, you have the system Python 2.7 available, potentially the Homebrew version of Python 2 installed, and the Homebrew version of Python 3 as well.

$ python
will launch the system Python interpreter.

$ python2
will launch the homebrew-installed Python 2 interpreter (if any).

$ python3
will launch the homebrew-installed Python 3 interpreter.

And yet on Pipenv & Virtual Environments the first thing I'm encouraged to do is make sure python3 is installed by typing $python --version which will display the system Python interpreter version.

This could potentially confuse a new developer who may be wondering why they are seeing version say 2.7.x instead of 3.6.x as the writeup suggest. Besides as at the time of writting there are not many OS's that have $python defaulting to version 3.6.x.

If the writeup in insisting of starting Python 3 with the command $python then it needs to be explained how this can be done safely.

Thanks.
