Comment 7 for bug 1800723

Ok, I see.

Python3-pip [1] depends on python3, which is pointing at the default python3 version. In Ubuntu at the moment, this is 3.6. Presumably at some point in the future the default will be changed to 3.7, and then any packages using python3 will install that instead.

I am not sure if this will retroactively happen for older Ubuntu releases.
