Lesson 4 Python install

[Matchoo612]

In my terminal when I check which version of Python I am running, it says 2.7.16, however, I just installed python 3.10.0 and it even says in the bottom left hand corner I am running python 3.10.0. This is an issue because it also says I am not running pip which comes with the Python 3.10 download if I understand correctly. Thanks in advance for your help and sorry it's probably an easy fix, I just started learning a few days ago with limited experience. :)

Hey buddy There is a quick fix for it type press ctrl+shift+p You will see the latest python3.10.0 here

Now you can select it and re run then it will start working

If you're using Windows, check if your PATH environment variable includes the folders that Python 3 and pip are kept in (ie. something like "...\Programs\Python\Python310" for Python and "...\Programs\Python\Python310\Scripts" for pip)

Hi Muhammad (or anyone) - i did what you are suggested but when i still run "python --version" after that, I still get Python 2.7.16 even though I have downloaded the Python 3.10.2 version. When you say "re-run" what do you mean by that? See pictures below
