Pytest-3.3.2 using python 2.7

I have just installed Ubuntu for WSL, mainly to be able to use linux commands while i learn coding in python, and in particular git and pytest.
I installed pytest using the bash shell, and even though i have python 3.7 installed, when running pytest, it uses python 2.7:



Python 2.7.15rc1, pytest-3.3.2



when running pytest from windows CMD, it runs a different version of pytest python 3.7



Python 3.7.0, pytest-3.10.0



i realise this could be a very stupid question, but this is my first foray into linux based apps, and i would like to know how i can run pytest with the latest python version from the bash shell. I read some posts and have already tried:



python3 -m pytest



python3.7 -m pytest



but get the following message:



/usr/bin/python3: No module named pytest



Can somebody help me please?



thank you

          in fact i did the following and it worked:



          • apt install python 3 pip

          • sudo apt install python3-test

          after that, it will refer to the latest python version when calling pytest



          • python -m pytest -v
