Under linux you could use anaconda python and distro's python side by side.

If you use default installation process you could get anaconda
probably in $HOME/anaconda  directory.

If you don't change .bashrc then you could start anaconda's virtual
environment by:

    source $HOME/anaconda/bin/activate ~/anaconda/

After this command pip will install packages into anaconda's python
environment. (without this command it install into distro's python
environment)

So answer to "somebody's" question is probably that it depends on.

Under ubuntu 16.04 which could be similar to Mint I got this:

    python -V  # by default my python is distro's python
Python 2.7.12

    source $HOME/anaconda3/bin/activate anaconda3

    (anaconda3) xyz:~$ python -V  # now I could use nice features like
f-strings from python 3.6 :)
Python 3.6.1 :: Anaconda custom (64-bit)
