Common Python Issues

"Slither" - Some digital art I worked on using Photoshop and deep learning algorithms.

As I slither across python issues, I'll post them and their solutions here! If you have any questions or issues you'd like to see listed here, leave me a comment or shoot me a tweet.

Linux

(Ubuntu 16.04+ in particular, but this should be applicable to other Linux based operating systems.)

Some useful info:

• There are two versions of python, python 2+ and python 3+.
• Both are called using separate names, python (for python 2) and python3 (for python 3)
• Both versions of python have their own versions of pip that are called using pip (for python 2) and pip3 (for python 3)
• Packages installed with pip are only available when using python 2.
• Packages installed with pip3 are only available when using python 3.

How to install

	# To install python 2
	sudo apt-get install python
	# To install python 3
	sudo apt-get install python3
