How To Check Python Version

When users download Python, an interpreter is downloaded along with it. This indicates that you are “teaching” your machine, in a sense, how to comprehend Python code. Given all of this, it should be no surprise that Python isn’t a piece of software with a user interface; hence, there is no provision for automated updates.

However, validating the Python version remains a simple process. This is due to the fact that the version will determine the real name of the program itself. Since Python 3.8.4 is the most recent release, and since a search for “Python” on my Windows PC reveals that I already have Python 3.6 and 3.5 installed, it seems that I require an upgrade. That is how one may determine the version of Python!
