Description
I saw that there is little mention in the guide of how to install and handle multiple python versions. I wrote this short guide gist on using PyEnv for myself and my friends, and was wondering if this is something that has place in the guide.
If so, please let me know how it should be modified/improved prior to integration to the guide.

Research direction
Start by reading the guide's existing installation and Python-version guidance, then compare it with the linked PyEnv gist. Check whether multiple-version setup belongs in the guide and identify any outdated or missing steps. The work is done when a reviewed, integrated guide section clearly explains installing and switching Python versions.
