I am trying to run a python program, I installed python, 3.5 but it still says.
requires Python 3.4 or newer.
When ever I try and start it, am I doing something wrong? I installed python via the package downloaded from the python website

One way is to run the script as /usr/local/bin/python
Or run as python3
Another is to alter your path so /usr/local/bin is before /usr/bin . This has bee described in many questions
python3 **program**
instead of just python **program**
which will use the other version.
type -p python
show as the executable that python is?
