This feature is experimental but should be working well enough for most use cases. Incidentally, the first python version you install will claim `python`. With the above example:
```
python -V
Python 3.6.3
python3 -V
Python 3.6.3
python2 -V
Python 2.7.13
```
In some cases, you might want python2 and python3 to co-exist, but python needs to point at a specific python version. The order of python versions is what controls this.
