If you are using anaconda to go into python environment you should have build up different environment for different python version

The following scripts may help you build up a new environment(running in anaconda prompt)

conda create -n py27 python=2.7  #for version 2.7
activate py27

conda create -n py36 python=3.6  #for version 3.6
activate py36

you may leave the environment back to your global env by typing
deactivate py27 
or 
deactivate py36

and then you can either switch to different environment using your anaconda UI with @Francisco Camargo 's answer

or you can stick to anaconda prompt using @Dan 's answer
