I was trying to use virtualenv to switch between python versions before learning that I could use both python and python3 on my Mac.

I was able to fix my python 2.7 version so that still works fine however, now when I run python3, I get this error:

ImportError: This package should not be accessible on Python 3. Either you are trying to run from the python-future src folder or your installation of python-future is corrupted.

I've looked online for this error but most of the conversation was on fixing up the patch and then upgrading virtualenv. However, this still doesn't fix my issue.

python3 -V: Python 3.6.0
virtualenv --version: 15.1.0
env | egrep -i 'python|virtualenv': PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:
