@AkhilVarma That only show python 2 on Ubuntu. – Jacob Vlijm Mar 12 '17 at 16:53

1@AkhilVarma because Ubuntu uses multiple versions. python refers to python2, python3 to python3. – Jacob Vlijm Mar 12 '17 at 16:59

Run the following commands and whichever gives an output is the version you have:
- Python 2:
python --version - Python 3:
python3 --version
Note: You can have both installed and used independently by simply adding the shebang to the top of the Python script to indicate which you want to use. Example:
python 2 script: #!/usr/bin/python
python 3 script: #!/usr/bin/python3

I am on Babun (Cygwin fork) and when I type python --version it displays the version.
$ python --version
Python 2.7.8
On a sidenote:
if you have different versions of Python installed, you can switch between them using a shell alias (add to your .bashrc) for example:
alias python=/usr/local/bin/python2.7
Please do use this carefully, as it might break things. Switching between 2.6 and 2.7 should normally work.

2If you mean switch between 2 and 3, this is an extremely bad idea. Please clarify. – Jacob Vlijm Mar 12 '17 at 17:54
