We now have both python 2.7 and python 3.5 on our system.
Typing python in the terminal also brings up the python 2.7 message
But typing pip -V brings up the one corresponding to pip 3.5
So the solution is.
wget /packages/11/b6/abcb525026a4be042b486df43905d6893fb04f05aac21c32c638e939e447/pip-9.0.#md5=35f01da33009719497f01a4ba69d63c9 tar -xvf pip-9.0. cd pip-9.0.1 python build python install
The above method of modifying the default pip version to correspond to python2.7 is all that I have shared with you.
