there was a typing mistake in the code of the previous variant. The new version should be right (I hope) You should see something like $ /usr/sbin/alternatives --list 2to3 auto /usr/bin/2to3-3.9 automake-doc auto /usr/share/info/automake1.9.info.gz gnuplot auto /usr/bin/gnuplot-X11.exe pip3 auto /usr/bin/pip3.9 pydoc3 auto /usr/bin/pydoc3.9 python auto /usr/bin/python3.9 python3 auto /usr/bin/python3.9 python3-config auto /usr/bin/python3.9-config sphinx-apidoc auto /usr/bin/sphinx-apidoc-3.9 sphinx-autogen auto /usr/bin/sphinx-autogen-3.9 sphinx-build auto /usr/bin/sphinx-build-3.9 sphinx-quickstart auto /usr/bin/sphinx-quickstart-3.9 with more variant if other python's are installed $ /usr/sbin/alternatives --display pip3 pip3 - status is auto. link currently points to /usr/bin/pip3.9 /usr/bin/pip3.9 - priority 39 Current `best' version is /usr/bin/pip3.9.
