I have tried a few Ubuntu distributions where python comes pre-installed, therefore having some problems in package management during the development processes.
Some Linux distributions include Python on default. Does elementary OS have that, or is it coming Python-free?
Yes, it does come installed by default.
Open a terminal session (press Supr+t or search for terminal in Slingshot) and enter:
$ python
This will give you access to Python 2.
If you need to work with Python 3, the command is:
$ python3
Yes,python2 and python3 comes in default with elementary OS.
But here python2==python and python3==python3
Open terminal and run the commands:
To find version of python2:
Open terminal and run-
python -V
or
python --version
To find version of python3:
python3 -V
or
python3 --version
For reference Open terminal and run man python
