pip installs modules for python 2.7

Question

I want to install a module with pip, in my case pydub.
However pip install pydub installs pydub in /home/<user>/.local/lib/python2.7/

So when I run my script
python3 myScript.py
it tells me
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pydub'

How do I get pip to install pydub for 3.x rather than 2.7?

Use pip3 install xxx, or better yet, python3 -m pip install xxx. The problem here is that by default pip is aliased to python2's installation.
