Expected Behavior
The current documentation for Batavia Installation tells one to use pip instead of pip3, but the Python version supported is >= 3. Also, in the instruction to run the tests in text mode (setup.py) runs python instead of python3.
Current Behavior
If the user does not activate the venv, python can throw errors if both Python 2 and Python 3 are installed in the system.
Even if the user has venv, it is a safer practice to explicitly state the version of Python being run.
As noted on the PR, this isn't necessary. If you're in the virtual environment, python will point at the version created by the virtual environment. I'd argue it's safer to not use the prefix - because by using python, you're guaranteeing that you're in an activated virtual environment. If you're not, python will start a Python2 interpreter, and you'll get an error.
