[conspire] Running Python 3

[Paul Zander]

Background:  There are major difference between Python 2.7 and Python 3.  So they are really two different programs.  A script written for 2.7 might have a lot of problems on Python 3 and vice versa.  However, many organizations have so much written in 2.7 that they are reluctant to change.

Now which version of Python 3 do you need for your class?   According to packages.debian.org:

 
|   Debian-Stable  |   Debian-Testing  |
|   Stretch  |   Buster  |
|   Python 3  |   Python 3  |
|   Python 3.4  |   Python 3.5  |
|   Python 3.5  |   Python 3.6  |


So decide on the appropriate flavor of Python 3.  
Use your favorite package manager (apt-get or synaptic or ??) to install it.  
Now you should be able to invoke Python3.5 as you would python2.7.

Hi people,      I need your help please.      I need to run Python 3 on my tiny HP laptop, running Xbuntu. This is for my Object-Oriented Python class at Foothill College. So far, I am able to run Python 2.7 on it two ways: in Ajunta and at the command line when I bring up a terminal.     So how do I get Python 3 on to my laptop and how do I run small programs using it?      My second assignment is due tomorrow/Saturday night.
Thanks,Elise Scher_______________________________________________
