Bash alias & # 8594; Python 2.7 to Python 3.3

Question

I am trying to make Python 3.4.2 the default on Linux (currently it is 2.7.6). I am not very good at this, but I read in several places on the Internet that you can simply put an alias in a file ~/.bashrcor ~/.bash_aliasesas follows:

alias python='python3'

I don't have a file ~/.bashrcor ~/.bash_aliases., I assume you can just create them. I did this, but the alias does not seem to work. Am I missing something? Do you need a shebang at the beginning of the file? I have tried this in both directions.

Thanks for any help you can give!
