If you are new to Python you are more than likely reading some tutorials, how tos, or documentation, it's just a given and comes with the territory. Be weary on how old the content is that you are reading.

Python 2 had reached it's end of life in 2020. So most modern projects do not have this in the environment.

It is recommended in this case to explicitly write python3. For instance if you are creating a virtual environment. One would write:

python3 -m venv venv
