Ubuntu 20.04 is the first LTS version of Ubuntu to drop Python2, coming fresh out of the box with Python 3.8.5. Code boot camps and tutorials do a fine job of teaching students how to run Python code locally, but the most meaningful applications don't run on local machines: they run on servers, on the internet, because that's the point, isn't it? Maybe I'm taking crazy pills here. One of my earliest frustrations with Python development had nothing to do with Python itself but rather the needlessly esoteric act of deploying a Python app. If you're running Ubuntu 18.04 or older, go here. There are a number of subtle differences in managing versions of Python on older distributions of Ubuntu.
