How do i download the latest version of Python onto my Linux system?

I can't figure out how or where to find the download for Python. If you don't know, Python is a coding language. I want to learn to code. If you recommend a different thing to learn code, please reply with a link and what it is below. I would like to use Python but I want to learn how to code soon.

It it wasn't installed by default, use sudo apt-get install python or sudo apt-get install python3 for debian based systems

Also Code Academy is a good place to start to learn python

Python is available through your package manager via the official repositories.

Option one, run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3

Option two, use the software center:

open the ubuntu software center and search for python.

For the pip package manager, run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install python-pip

or, for the python3 version:

sudo apt-get install python3-pip

To learn python for free:

If you insist on a manual install (not really recommended), you can build the absolute latest from source using the following commands:

sudo apt-get build-dep python3
wget
tar zxvf Python-3.5*
cd Python-3.5*
make
sudo make install

I would suggest learning ruby instead:
