    When I was first starting out my programming adventures with Python, someone told me that I should work with Python 3 instead of 2 because that’s what will be maintained in the future (this was some 8 years ago). I decided to listen and when I got home I opened up my terminal, wrote:

    sudo apt-get remove python

    Followed by

    sudo apt-get install python3

    Only to be suddenly greeted with:

    sudo: command not found

      In my days of learning Python, I was told to use pyenv and set environments based on the projects rather than making changes to the system. Maybe there are better options nowadays.
