Change default iPython in homebrew to use Python 2.x.x instead of Python 3.x.x

Question

I used homebrew to install python 2.x.x and python 3.x.x

I installed several package for both Python versions using the pip2 and pip3 commands.

One of the packages I installed was iPython.

Now, my default python command (i.e when I write pythonin the command line= points to Homebrew 2.x.x python, but my default ipython command uses Python 3.x.x for some reason I can't understand.

How can I change this? I'm trying to use hydrogen package in atomto use jupyter but I'm doing a Python 2.x.x project and hydrogen keeps trying to run it using Python 3.x.x.

Ok, I found the answer.

Simply copy the ipython2 file to ipython:

cp /usr/local/bin/ipython2 /usr/local/bin/ipython
