How to get pygmentize CLI to use the Python3 lexers? - pygments

I'm having a problem debugging and issue lexing of a language using Python3 and pygments. I had the setup working with Python2 but failing to combine it correctly for Python3.
MY primary question is how do I get the CLI pygmentize to use the Python3 lexers. It seems to always use the Python2 installed lexers. I also don't see that pygmentize is actually part of the pygments package (so I might be confused on how that's actually installed).
Note: I have the lexer installed in 3, and rebuilding the mapfiles shows that it is recognized, but when I use the markdown codehilite extension it doesn't find the lexer it seems. I want to run the CLI pygmentize to try and debug what the problem is.

Wrong Python interpreter being used by VS Code

I am on Ubuntu 20.04 and have both Python2 and Python3 installed natively. I have also installed Python through miniforge, a variant of miniconda. In VSCode I have both the MS Python extension and Pylance installed.
I use the miniforge python for my coding. This works perfectly fine in PyCharm.
However in VSCode, when I try to execute the same file I get errors. After investigating it seems that VSCode is picking native Python2 - even though I have the miniforge Python selected. In this picture it can be seen that the status bar at the bottom states Python interpreter selected is Python3. But the output window shows that the python interpreter is Python2.
A more confusing thing is when I use VSCode for Jupyter notebook files then it picks up the interpreter correctly and I have no issues.
I have checked both User and Workspace settings, and they all point to Python3. How can I fix this for standard .py files?
I prefer VSCode to PyCharm, but will need to use PyCharm till this is resolved.
It seems that your system console cannot see python3. You need to put the python3 in the PATH variable, before python2. Like:
PATH=path/to/python3:path/to/python2:$PATH
Also, make sure that the environment containing python3 is activated before command prompt appears. It can be done in bash_profile by adding a line like
conda activate my_env_with_python3
Try changing the settings "Python:Python path", "Python:default interpreter path" and "Python:conda path" also.
I have just bumped into something similar. The Run code option resulted in the file being run with the default interpreter instead of the venv-based one with necessary packages installed.
The fix was simply to use "Run python file" instead:
The run-code behavior must be customizable, something is mentioned e.g. here: Run Code vs Run Python File in Terminal for VSCODE but I didn't bother.

Python 3.8.5 already Installed but terminal uses 3.7.6 on typing python3

I will come straight to the point. I installed python version 3.8.5 as the latest stable python version but when I use the command python3 in my terminal it makes me use python 3.7.6.
Is there a way to fix this?

Make sure you have added the local of the new version to your PATH variable, and ensure the command s referring to the right file with
python3 —version

Fish can't execute anything on my machine without python3

I have an issue with my fish shell when using pyenv with Python2 activated:
$ pyenv shell 2.7.14
$ ls
pyenv: python3: command not found
The `python3' command exists in these Python versions:
3.6.4
It seems like even when I execute a command as simple as ls / cat / etc, something is calling Python 3. I never get a similar issue without pyenv removing access to Python 3.
How can I find out what is calling Python 3? I've tried clearing my config.fish file, but this problem still occurs
This might be triggered by autocompletion. From the README section on optional dependencies:
automated completion generation from manual pages requires Python 3.5+
the fish_config web configuration tool requires Python 3.5+ and a web browser

IPython notebook kernel dies on import

I am running IPython Notebook on Enthought's Canopy 64 bit distribution, Ubuntu 14.04.
I've tried install libtiff, but when I import it in IPython Notebook, the kernel always dies at the import statement. What could possibly be causing this? Canopy is my default Python distribution, my paths all seem like they're set up appropriately, although I'm convinced that something in my Python setup is borked.
Any advice is appreciated.
EDIT: I'll be more specific. Output of sys.path:

As for how to install Python packages, I assume I go to ~/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/lib/python2.7/site-packages and run pip, setup.py, or a shell script, per the specific package's instructions. Is that correct? The article that I linked has the following line: "To install a package which is not available in the Canopy / EPD repository, follow standard Python installation procedures from the OS command line.", which seems to imply that I install per package instructions.
In .bashrc, I have the following:
VIRTUAL_ENV_DISABLE_PROMPT=1 source /home/joe/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin/activate
export PYTHONHOME=/home/joe/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin
export PATH=/home/joe/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin
export PYTHONPATH=/home/joe/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin
From what I understand of the linked articles, this means I'm setting Canopy User as my default Python distribution. I'm sure I'm doing something a bit over my head here, but I can't understand what else I need to do to fix this issue.
Worse yet, now I'm getting an "ImportError: No module named site" with these .bashrc settings, when trying to start IPython notebook or python from the command line. I can run only from the Canopy GUI.
Closing this. I made it harder than necessary.
It turns out, the PYTHONHOME and PYTHONPATH .bashrc variables were causing some conflicts. Commenting them out seems to have resolved the issue.
Installing outside packages does, indeed, happen from the home (~) directory.

Import error when using a python script that do not occur in ipython

All my install for python were working pretty well since soon. Now, I have a weird issue that generates import errors for some of my Python scripts and when using Ipython those import performs as expected.
This issue does not depend on the working dir (tested this several times with the same result). And I didn't change anything in my .bashrc regarding PYTHONPATHs.
So this might be a noob question, but is there an option in Ipython to display everything Ipython is doing when I run a command, so that I can track which is the package Ipython succesfully imported?
The packages I have trouble with are actually yaml, matplotlib cloud Image. Is it possible that an update from 2.6 to 2.7 is responsible for that? (I work on OSX Lion and most of the packages are installed via macports and updated using the upgrade outdated command).
As I think I can probably fix this myself with the command I asked for, don't bother seeking further for package compatibility or anything if you got the Ipython command that might suits me.
The difference of imports between python and ipython resulted from a cross defined python reference library (when installing most of the python libraries with macports and some without any known ports with other package managers).
Reinstalling the whole python libraries using the process described in http://astrofrog.github.io/macports-python/
corrects the issue and it is preferable to install manually the libraries that don't have any known ports (for instance with a setup build/install process).
