It looks like you don't have symbolic link for python.

1. If you want to use python3 when you type python run the following command:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

2. If you want to use python2 when you type python run the following command:

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python

If you encounter below problem ln: failed to create symbolic link '/usr/bin/python': File exists, try deleting the symbolic link for python using sudo rm /usr/bin/pythonand try above solution.

I hope it helps.
