python 3 shambles
First of all on my 18.04 LTS machine
I have Ubuntu update issues , several updates have been botched todays update too, nevertheless my updater says everything is up to date
Iḿ not sure if python is correctly installed / updated
1- How can I get a correct Python installed on my machine because I think other programs are missing parts of this environment and ceased working such as Sweethome 3D (by eteks)
2- where can i find the update logs of my last updates so that i can see what updates have not completed correctly
3- after locating the logs i will attempt to understand what has happened, i that is not possible who can send I the logs to tell me what has occurred and what needs to be repaired
apt updates python

You can find your update logs here:/var/log/aptIt is unlikely that you will find anyone to send your logs to who will analyze them. You can try returning here to ask more questions, or edit this question with specifics.

Start by checking a few things:
which python
... should point to /usr/bin/python if it is installed properly. Next check that it defaults to the version you want:
python -V
As an added check, check that the python command is actually a soft link that points to the version you want and that there is also an associated python config file for that version:
ls -l /usr/bin/python*
If the version is NOT the one you want, delete the soft link:
sudo rm /usr/bin/python
... and relink it to the version you want - for example if you want version 3.6:
cd /usr/bin
sudo ln -s python3.6 python
Create soft links to config files if they are missing. Verify that all went well:
python -V
Note that you need to install pip for Python 2.7 and pip3 for newer Python versions:
sudo apt install pip pip3
It's ok to have both pip versions installed at the same time in case you need to go back and forth between Python versions - which you can do by changing the /usr/bin/python soft link as I described above.
One last note - Python3 will find modules you installed with pip3 but not with pip, and Python2.7 will find modules you installed with pip but not with pip3.
