nRF5 SDK for Mesh v2.2.0 - Python 2.7 and 3 Coexistence

So what steps do we need to take to have these two different Python versions both installed & usable at the same time on the same machine?

The 'Installing the toolchain' page says that tools have to be in the PATH - but, surely, it is going to matter what order they appear in the PATH ?

Hi,

Newer versions of Python 3.x will install as "py" in addition to "python". You may have to rearrange your PATH in order for "python" to refer to the Python 2 install (having the Python 2 directory come first in PATH), but if you install Python 2 before Python 3 then this should work out of the box.

Similarly, by default you can use "pip3" for the Python 3 version of pip, and "pip" for the Python 2 version.
