Cannot install ordereddict to specific Python version on Ubuntu 18

Question

I am trying to install the ordereddict module to my Python 2.7 setup as I get an error saying this is missing when I attempt to execute code. When I try sudo pip install ordereddict this seems to install it to my Python 3.6 build...I was off the impression that sudo pip3 install ordereddict should install to 3.6.

I am therefore trying the following from the PYPI page:

sudo python2.7 -m pip install ordereddict

Unfortunately though this is throwing up the following errors when executed:

gdogg371@ubuntu:~$ sudo python2.7 -m pip install ordereddict

Can anyone advise what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Possible duplicate of [OrderedDict for older versions of python](https://stackoverflow.com/q/1617078/608639). The Q&A provides the details of the versions of Python that support `OrderedDict`, how to install it on older versions of Python, and how to write a program that uses `OrderedDict`. — jww, Oct 09 '18 at 02:42

In python2.7 OrderedDict is a built-in structure.

from collections import OrderedDict

P.S. in python 3.6 dicts are already ordered so you don't need it.
