Although this is not a direct upgrade, I found this link to be helpfull. You can basically change paths to the python3.X directory. [https://www.macobserver.com/analysis/how-to-upgrade-your-mac-to-python-3-2017-update/]

If this is too much of a hassle to change directories. You can actually do the upgrade from 2x to 3.x. However there are a few more steps involved. [https://discussions.apple.com/thread/7491355?start=0&tstart=0]

Good Luck.
