I'll assume you are using Raspbian as the OS on a Raspberry Pi.
Raspbian is a Debian based version of Linux.
python2.7 is the default but python3 is also there.
I suggest you use virtualenv as follows:

sudo apt-get install python-virtualenv
cd <your project directory>
virtualenv -p python3 venv
source venv/bin/activate  # This will leave you in a Python 3 
environment.
pip install py_switch  # I assume this is a RPi specific package

You can exit the environment with the following command:
deactivate

You can get back into it by sourcing activate again as shown above.

Hope this is helpful.

I've been doing a lot of this sort of stuff with the Raspberry Pi and 
would be happy to keep the conversation going off line for the non 
Python bits.
