It's been 3 years, I'm clueless as to how I created it. Also I'm a
noob when it comes to Linux which makes this even more confusing for
me. The 3 years I've been absent from Programming I went back to
Windows.

The "command" gives this output:

which python
/usr/bin/python
(website) matthew at linux-oq68:~/Documents/mywork/web/website/blogsite>
which python3
/usr/bin/python3
