Answer 1

If you have both Python2 and Python3 installed on your Mac, you can use

python --version

to check the version of Python2, and

python3 --version

to check the version of Python3.

However, if only Python3 is installed, then your system might use python instead of python3 for Python3. In this case, you can just use

python --version

to check the version of Python3.
