Python environment is not changing

Question

I have followed some guidance on how to indicate Python 3 to run on Visual Studio Code in my Linux machine. However when I execute my script it gives me an error with path indicating Python 2.7

/usr/lib64/python2.7/distutils/dist.py:267: UserWarning: Unknown distribution option: 'python_requires'
  warnings.warn(msg)

I don't know if I configure something wrong.

You need to set python 3 as default on the system by running:

sudo update-alternatives  --set python /usr/bin/python3.6

It still uses the old path. Do I need to restart my machine?

restart not required for linux, however, you may require to close existing console/IDE and open a new console wherever you are testing.
