I already updated python so that python -V and python3 -V results into Python 3.10.10. Any idea what can be done here?

[Scream4Life]

It seems that my python 3.10 version is placed in /usr/local/bin, but the installation is looking for /usr/bin in which the 3.5 version is still shown

[Scream4Life]

This did the trick

sudo rm python and sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/python3.10 python

same for python3
