I installed python 3.6.1. But then realized I don't have IDLE and can only access python via terminal by typing python. And the python version in the terminal is 2.7.12 not 3.6.1. I know Ubuntu comes with Python 2.7.12. But how come I can't use 3.6.1?

To use Python3, type python3 in your terminal.

To use tkinter, you need to install it by typing 

sudo apt-get install python3-tk
