That doesn't sound like the way Python works to me.

If you're running MM2 under Python 2.7, and you also have Python 3.7 
installed, the two Python interpreters don't share packages unless 
you're doing something unusual. So updating one version of the installed 
package shouldn't touch the other.

That's been my experience, for what its worth.
