You can read this ticket for a summary of the issues and workarounds:<br>

<br>
The gist is that, while Debian systems support "python2" vs. "python3"<br>
as an explicit executable, OS X does not. In my opinion, arch made a<br>
bad choice. Even <a href="http://docs.python.org" target="_blank">docs.python.org</a> uses Python 2.x as the default<br>
documentation set. For Python users, it makes more sense to migrate to<br>
"python3" than to back-migrate everything to "python2".<br>
