I can't seem to be able to set local python for a project, not even global python.
$ pyenv local 3.9.6
$ pyenv global 3.9.6
$ pyenv versions
system
* 3.9.6 (set by /home/cmap/c-map/.python-version)
In .python-version it is written 3.9.6 But when I type python -V I get 3.7.3 which is the original system installed python What am I missing here?
