    Your question isn't clear. What are you _expecting_ it to show? – cs95 Dec 18 '17 at 12:07

    no everything is correct, python provides different Interpreter. There are differents between version2 and 3. https://wiki.python.org/moin/Python2orPython3 – bierschi Dec 18 '17 at 12:10

    You have two versions of python installed, python2.7 and python3.5. Is this different from what you expected? – KPLauritzen Dec 18 '17 at 12:10
  • I am starting to learn Django and i want to make sure i do python set up correctly.. so having both versions confused me or does that mean i can take advantage of both versions? – Tuğba Denizci Dec 18 '17 at 12:11
  • Meet a decision first, if you want to develop in python2 or python3. I prefer python3, and django supports python3 https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24737326/what-is-the-recommended-version-of-python-for-django-framework – bierschi Dec 18 '17 at 12:14
  • ok, i prefer using python3 .. should i go ahead to remove python2? and i will also every time type python3 to make sure i am using the latest version. Is that correct behaviour? I am a newbie so pardon me for silly questions. Thank you – Tuğba Denizci Dec 18 '17 at 12:21

It seems you are on Ubuntu system,

Ubuntu still needs python2 to run some of it's core services behind the scene. It is completely normal and nothing to be worried about.

by default python command shows python version 2.7 and python3 as python 3.5.

You can install anaconda to manage python version and packages as per your needs.
