    There are three main ways to check the Python version in Ubuntu: 1) Open the command line and run "python3 -V" to print the version number. 2) Import the sys module and print sys.version.split()[0] to get the major version number from a Python script. 3) Import sys and print sys.version_info.major to print just the major version number from within a Python script.

    How to Check Python Version in Ubuntu


    Python is such a popular scripting language and various useful programs included in Ubuntu
    are written in Python. Therefore, Ubuntu Linux comes with Python preinstalled.

    To check the Python version, Open the command line interface and execute the following
    command:

    python3 -V

    If you automate stuff with Python, sometimes you will need to check the Python version in a
    Python script. For this, we use the sys module, which has the version and version_info
    objects to check the Python version.

    import sys
    print(sys.version.split()[0])

    Using version_info to print major version:

    import sys
    print(sys.version_info.major)

    Python 3 is the default version in Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, although Python 2 is still available to
    install.

    One can install Python 2, by running the apt install python2 command.
