Python in DevOps is also used to automate manual things just like shell scripting.
So,
To install Python in ubuntu,
<pre><code class="lang-bash">sudo apt-get install python3.6
</code></pre>

Because we have installed python3.6, therefore we need to check the version as
<blockquote>
python3 --version
</blockquote>
Suppose we have installed python2 then we check the version using
<blockquote>
python2 --version
</blockquote>
So, we have python3.6, To check the Python version,
<pre><code class="lang-bash">python3 --version
</code></pre>

<h2 id="heading-different-data-types-in-python">Different Data Types in Python</h2>
In programming languages, data type is a very important topic.
Variables can store different types of data in them.
So, Python has different data types in these categories:
<table><tbody><tr><td>Text Type:</td><td><code>str</code></td></tr><tr><td>Numeric Types:</td><td><code>int</code>, <code>float</code>, <code>complex</code></td></tr><tr><td>Sequence Types:</td><td><code>list</code>, <code>tuple</code>, <code>range</code></td></tr><tr><td>Mapping Type:</td><td><code>dict</code></td></tr><tr><td>Boolean Type:</td><td><code>bool</code></td></tr><tr><td>None Type:</td><td><code>NoneType</code></td></tr></tbody></table>

## **Install Python in your respective OS, and check the version**

Python in DevOps is also used to automate manual things just like shell scripting.

So,

Because we have installed python3.6, therefore we need to check the version as

> ***python3 --version***

Suppose we have installed python2 then we check the version using

> ***python2 --version***

So, we have python3.6, To check the Python version,

```bash
python3 --version
```
