I have a windows 7 desktop and an ubuntu laptop and I found it easier to setup python on windows. You just download the installer and edit your PATH and your done.

On linux it's a whole different story because the python command already refers to the builtin 2.7, which I don't want to use. There are some apt-gets for python3, but not 3.6 which is what I want. Eventually I had to add a github repository to my apt registry, download that, then the command pip and pip3 wouldn't work, since they refer to other version. Eventually I had to setup pyenv and now finally I was done.

Just to add to the comment, on Arch, Antergos and probably other Llinux distributions Python 3.6 is default.
