AWS: Cloudshell Python version mismatch

 Lately, I tried to install a Python library onto Cloudshell. I first checked the Python version:

$ python --version

Python 3.13.13

So I ran pip install, which deployed a version of my lib compatible with Python 3.13. The lib declares some entry points for setuptools, so that I can run some commands from the CLI. So I run those commands from the shell, but they fail with some errors about missing import.

After investigation, I found out that the command scripts started with a shebang like this one:

#!/usr/bin/python3

This is all normal, except that if I check the link, this is what I find:

$ ls -l /usr/bin/python3

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 9 Apr 20 22:07 /usr/bin/python3-> python3.9

Someone forgot something? Or am I looking at it wrong?
