I'm trying to install python 3.6.1 on my Ubuntu 14.04 VM. I use the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/python-3.6
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3.6

It installs successfully, however I believe I still have 2.7 installed, because when I run "sudo pip" it gives the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/pip", line 9, in <module> load_entry_point('pip==1.5.4', 'console_scripts', 'pip')() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 542, in load_entry_point return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2569, in load_entry_point return ep.load() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2229, in load return self.resolve() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2235, in resolve module = __import__(self.module_name, fromlist=['__name__'], level=0) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/pip/__init__.py", line 61, in <module> from pip.vcs import git, mercurial, subversion, bazaar # noqa
EOFError: EOF read where object expected

How do I resolve this?
