1 Answer

Try this

sudo apt purge python2.x
sudo apt purge python3.x

As there are still a lot of packages that depend on Python2.x So you should have a close look at the packages that apt wants to remove before you let it proceed.

after that you can install your required version by

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install python3.6.2

then you can check by

ls -l /usr/bin/python*
