Then you call it usingpython3.6.python3will remain symlinked topython3.5and you should keep it that way. Look into virtual environments like Oli wrote in his answer.

How did you upgrade? I suspect you may have a python3.6 binary somewhere.
Generally speaking, you never want to replace /usr/bin/python or /usr/bin/python3 with your own fruity versions. Important parts of Ubuntu require their stable Python environments, and largely speaking, that is incompatible with you mucking around.
That all said, having a /usr/bin/python3.6 (or /usr/local/bin/python3.6, or whatever in your path) would be fine. If you don't want to type all that in each time, you might want to look at virtualenv and the various wrapper automation options for it. This has the additional bonus of not threatening your system's site_packages with your development work.
