Change python version from 2.7 to 3.7 at script level

I am using Splunk 8.0.8. I have python versions 2.7 and 3.7 installed in $Splunk_Home/bin folder but all my python scripts are getting executed with python 2.7. I even tried changing python.version=python3 in server.conf under ./etc/system/local but still scripts are running using python 2.7.
I even tried python.version=forced_python3 in server.conf but no luck.

Can someone please let me know where I need to change python version so that all my scripts starts using python3.7. ?
