The key here is serverless create template it may just be less confusing if the templates were python:2 python:3 or python:default

I always forget when coming back to issues later.

[mjschmidt]

For now the work around is after template creation to go in and change the runtime in serverless.yml and specify which python is being used. For example python 3 needs to be changed from

provider:
  name: openwhisk
  runtime: python

TO

provider:
  name: openwhisk
  runtime: python:3
