Can we have python 2.x as well as python 3.x on the same computer?

Question

Is it safe?
Will it affect any functionality?

Answer 1

Thank you all

Answer 2

I have both on Windows and PyCharm handles them well no problem.

Answer 3

On linux ( not sure for other platforms ) you can have both installed without any problem... and even have differents configurations ( modules installed ) by using virtual environnements...

Answer 4

idk but why do you want to do that?

Answer 5

Yes, but you will need to take extra care when running your programs (to make sure that the correct interpreter is used).
