Python 2 and Python 3 are installed system wide using standard Ubuntu packages and pip. One thing to be aware of is how things are named:

python2 and python will run Python 2
python3 will run Python 3

But the command-line IPython is different:

ipython2 will run IPython under Python 2
ipython3 and ipython will run IPython under Python 3

The most common Python packages for scientific computing and data science are installed:

NumPy
SciPy
Matplotlib
Pandas
SymPy
IPython
etc.

If you need an additional package, please let me know.
