I am trying to follow LPyTHW in order to work on learning python. I have downloaded python 3.6.4 from the python website but following LPhTHW to open python says to run python by typing python3.6 and recieve
No command 'python3.6' found, did you mean:
Command 'python3.5' from package 'python3.5-minimal' (main)
python3.6: command not found
and then when I type python (as LPyTHW recommends) I get
Python 2.7.12 (default, Dec 4 2017, 14:50:18)
[GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
My question is how do I update to python 3.6.x so that I can follow along with LPyTHW?

Re: Python 3.6.4
You don't. It's dangerous to download python and install it because python is alrready an integral part of Mint. UseBlack Swordsman wrote: ⤴Sun Feb 25, 2018 1:55 am My question is how do I update to python 3.6.x so that I can follow along with LPyTHW?
python3 to use the built-in version."There is, ultimately, only one truth -- cogito, ergo sum -- everything else is an assumption." - Me, my swansong.
