When I do `M-x run-python' it opens an interpreter but it is python 2.7.

I would like the command `M-x run-python' to open it as is in my anaconda3 installation. I want to do this, as none of my packages are importable currently. So I followed advice from "this answer" and added the following to my /.emacs.d/init.el file.

(setq python-python-command "/home/eghx/anaconda3/bin/python")

It doesn't work. I only end up opening python 2.7

Furthermore, anaconda's python works with spyder (IDE), works in my terminal and everywhere else except by default with emacs.

As you can tell I am a noob and would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks

Specs

Ubuntu 16 recent install, Emacs 27.0.5, Anaconda 3

    What is $ in your code? That probably shouldn't be in your Emacs config. Commented Apr 12, 2018 at 22:43
  • Also, Emacs 27.0.5 doesn't exist. The latest release is currently Emacs 25.3, and there are pretests for Emacs 26.1. Commented Apr 12, 2018 at 22:45

    python-python-command is for "loveshack python.el", which was the python mode that shipped with older emacs versions. "Gallina python.el" is the one that's in current versions. emacswiki.org/emacs/PythonProgrammingInEmacs#toc2 Commented Apr 12, 2018 at 23:04
  • @Chris edited the $ out. Sorry, my bad. @Chris, this is the output of emacs --version 'GNU Emacs 27.0.50'. I used this to install the latest version of emacs. @jpkotta that was it. I didn't know that. Thank You for the python emacs wiki. :) Commented Apr 13, 2018 at 17:32

check the path to Python3 or better to IPython3 in the shell:

$ which python3

add the path to init file:

(setq python-shell-interpreter "/path/to/ipython3")
