I'm having an issue were I need to install ansible and PIP but when I go to install the packages, Ubuntu automatically will try and update python to version 3.8. I need to keep version 3.6, and I need all supporting packages to be python 3.6
Take the example below. I want to install pip, but Ubuntu wants to serve me python 3.8. Is there a way to set the version of python I want?
python3 --version
Python 3.6.15
sudo apt-get install pip:
