[SOLVED] Python seems to be running 3.6 even though my virtual environment is configured to run 3.7

Issue

I switched to Python 3.7.2 using pyenv. This is confirmed below:

$ python -V
Python 3.7.2

I then created a virtual environment called venv and installed all my dependencies. I can see that these have installed when I run pip list.

When I now run my tests using nosetest I use this command:

nosetests -s -v tests.functional.test_app

The test fails stating I'm missing a dependency. I can see that the dependency has installed when I check pip list. I do however notice that the log trace is referencing Python3.6:

$ nosetests -s -v tests.functional.test_app
Failure: ModuleNotFoundError (No module named 'botocore') ... ERROR

I've set the following pyenv local 3.7.2 and pyenv global 3.7.2.

How can I ensure I'm running in correct Python version?

Solution

Try which nosetests then run python3.7 output_of_which_nosetests_here
