The reason I couldn't reproduce was that the which command itself was aliased on my machine (CentOS 8). Look at this: alias which='alias | /usr/bin/which --tty-only --read-alias --show-dot --show-tilde'. Running /usr/bin/which python without the command flags confirmed the behaviour you saw. The answer by @ilkkachu is correct.

| Jan 23, 2022 at 9:26 | comment | added | Paul_Pedant | Aliases are only applied to the command itself. Here, which is the command: python is merely an argument to a command. you really do not want an alias to be a global replace to everything you type on the command line. | |

I can't reproduce this. Which OS are you on? What does the command alias|grep python show?
