I know there are other posts here asking how to install python 3.6, but all I want is a version of python 3. The repos seem to have python 3.4, which is fine but the problem is that apt-get is not responding in a way that makes sense. When I try the command apt-get install python3 I get the response:



python3 is already the newest version.


This is despite the fact that python -V command tells me python is 2.7.9. How do I install python 3 please?

  • python2.7 is set as default ,python 3 is already installed try python3 -V

The default python interpreter is Python 2. If you want to run Python 3, you need to use the command python3. I would expect running python3 -V would give you Python 3.4.x.

    The tow version of python is already installed on your system , to list them :



     update-alternatives --list python


    sample output:



    /usr/bin/python2.7
    /usr/bin/python3.5


    To set python3 as default run:



    update-alternatives --config python


    Choose python 3.5
