How to properly set python kernels in jupyter?

Question

If I list the jupyter kernels I get the following

jupyter kernelspec list
Available kernels:
  python3    /Users/myName/Library/Jupyter/kernels/python3
  python2    /usr/local/share/jupyter/kernels/python2

However if I open jupyter and I choose python3 as kernel I get that it is running python2

How can I properly set the kernel to the specific python version? I am working on mac machine and I have installed everything trough pip3

Jupyter isn't running Python2, the shell is (via the ! cell magic)

If you want the actual version of the interpreter, then

import sys
print(sys.version)

You can also see in the top-right that it clearly says Python 3, and unclear why you doubt that to be true
