You are attempting to run a Python script using the command python, but you're getting an error. However, the command python3 works perfectly. Why might this be the case?
- Multiple Python versions are installed
- Python 2 is the default on the system
- The script is written in Python 3 syntax
- There's an issue with the PATH variable
If 'python3' works while 'python' doesn't, it often indicates that Python 2 is the default Python version on the system. 'python' typically points to the system's default Python interpreter, which might be Python 2 on older systems. To resolve this, you can update your script to use Python 3 syntax or adjust the system configuration to make 'python' point to Python 3.
