Potential for confusion on Pipenv & Virtual Environments

Inizia confrontando le pagine Installing Python 3 on Mac OS X e Pipenv & Virtual Environments, in particolare le relative istruzioni per verificare la versione di Python. Chiarisci quale comando debba essere usato per Python 3 e spiega le differenze tra i comandi python, python2 e python3; la documentazione sarà completa quando le istruzioni di configurazione saranno prive di ambiguità per l’ambiente macOS descritto.

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.
