I'm using ubuntu 14.04 and I have messed up python. First, I've installed python 3.6.8, but I had some problem with it, so I moved to python 3.6.1. Only way to invoke 3.6.1 version is to use python3.6, but I need to make it work by using python. When i try alias, it kinda works, but not everywhere. I wanted to install ffmpeg, but when I use:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mc3man/trusty-media
I'm getting an error that says
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/SoftwareProperties.py", line 27, in <module>
import apt_pkg
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg'
Then, when I try to fix this with
apt-get install python-apt
I get another error

And I'm stuck at this point. I think that when I run those commands, it's invoking python 3.6.8, but I want to use 3.6.1 version. What can I do?
