title: How to get `python` to run Python 3 in WSL bash?
body: <p>When I type <code>python</code> into my bash shell (Windows Subsystem for Linux) in Windows 10 Home, I get the following error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>The program 'python' can be found in the following packages:
   * python-minimal
   * python3
  Try: sudo apt install &lt;selected package&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried installing <code>python3</code> but am told it's already installed and up to date.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried uninstalling <code>python-minimal</code> but am told it's not installed (!)</p>
  
  <p>Why am I seeing two "competing" packages for Python? How can I fix the conflict and configure my WSL bash to run Python 3 from <code>python</code>?</p>
