    Just possibly off topic here, but quite some time ago I was playing
    around with python and needed a package (I don't remember which one
    it was) that wasn't installed, so I used pip3 to do the install and
    it installed a python 2 version into python 3, hence the package
    failed because of differences in the print function. Has anybody
    else encountered this issue, I'm suspecting a badly created package,
    but just wanted to confirm that it wasn't more widely spread, that
    if it was a defect within pip3 under certain conditions that it has
    been rectified?
    
    regards,
    Steve
