That is what I have. But how do I work with it ?
As a new user you should start with python 3.
Ubuntu 16.04 comes by default with Python 3.5.1 installed.
You start it by
python3
in terminal.
pip
is very important for Python,
you may need to install pip for Python 3
sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Now you can test that it work:
$ python3

$ pip -V
