On my Linux box I have python 2.x and 3.x. I have to install some module like request only on python 3.x.

How i can force pip to install module for only python 3.x?

I tried command pip install requests then it install on python 2.x not 3.x

I have to keep both version of python due to some old script so I can not get rid of completely python 2.x

Running pip3 install should cover this. Or you can run python3 -m pip install, to call the pip module instead of the executable.

CodePudding user response：

Have you tried using "pip3" command? This can be installed with apt-get install python3-pip. Pip3 is the same as pip, but only works with python3

CodePudding user response：

You have to use pip3 instead or pip. pip3 refers to Python 3.x and pip to Python 2.x
