No, there is nothing wrong with it. For example, I have python 2.7.10 and python 3.5.2 installed on Windows. They work completely separate from each other — nikpod, Jun 20 '17 at 05:04

There's nothing wrong with having two versions of python installed, and it's actually quite common to do so. Usually, one would install them with different names (python vs python3, for example) to avoid confusion though.

If you are using python from command line then you can run python command for python 2 and python3 command for python 3.

In ide such as pycharm you can select the project intepretor from settings.
