Installed versions of Python
#1
I am new to Python. I have not been as methodical as I should about installing Python. I am interested in some guidance about the versions I have installed.

I am using Windows 10 and Microsoft Visual Studio. I have used Visual Studio for doing as much of the the installations it does.

When I execute Python from a command prompt I get Python 3.7.1.

Executing:

os.path.dirname(sys.executable)
I get C:\Program Files\Python37 and that is the only version in C:\Program Files. I also have a:

C:\Users\Sam\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python35

And that concerns me. I am concerned I might get confused about what version I am using.

In Visual Studio the only version of Python that is listed in Python Environments is 3.7. So am I safe in assuming I am using Python 3.7.1? Will the version 3.5 in AppData be a problem?

Correction: in Visual Studio when I choose to Add/Remove Python Environments I get 64-bit Python versions 3.5, 3.6 and 3.7, 32-bit Python version 3.7 and Anaconda 5.2.0.
