Hi Carlos, Distutils is not the exact forum for these kinds of questions, since we mostly deal with the packaging of Python code for redistribution, not with redistribution / installation of Python itself. For general help with Python we suggest the python-help mailing list: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-help That said, you can install Python 3.6.2 while still maintaining Python 3.5.2 installed. For Linux Mint, which is Ubuntu based (as far as I remember), I suggest you use the Dead Snakes PPA: https://launchpad.net/~deadsnakes/+archive/ubuntu/ppa In any case, I recommend against uninstalling the Pythons that came with your system, as other packages might depend on them. Alternatively, if you don't want to mess with system packages at all, you can use `pyenv`: https://github.com/pyenv/pyenv Best regards, Leo On 13 September 2017 at 07:59, Carlos Baptista <baptista.carlos.ab@gmail.com

Greetings,

I'm currently using Linux Mint 18.2 "Sonya" (Cinnamon-64) and Python there're two versions installed by default on my system: *Python 2.7.12* and *Python 3.5.2* (picture bellow).

I would like to install the latest Python version (3.6.2). As far as I know, I can't install it over Python 2. However, I would like to know if I can install the 3.6.2 over 3.5.2. If that's possible, how can I do that?

Thanks in advance.
