How should I clean-up multiple python mess?

Viewed 182

I was going to start learning python with VSCode. The first step was to select an interpreter. After I typed the command I was pretty surprised that I already have three of them installed :o

This is very confusing. Could you tell me how did it happen that I have multiple pythons? Which of them should I keep or update in future?

What's even more bizarre is that all three versions are different.

It doesn't really matter, and you'll even have more if you use virtual environments. I would take the latest one (3.7) as default, but you can take anaconda if you need any of the whistles and bells that are already installed there. In 3.7 you would have to pip install all of them.
