conda change python version between 2 and 3

I'm learning using conda to control environment of python in windows 10 powershell, following this doc.

It says the current environment should be shown parentheses or brackets

Which of these environments are you using right now – snowflakes or bunnies? To find out, type the same command:

conda info --envs

Conda displays the list of all environments, with the current environment shown in (parentheses) or [brackets] in front of your prompt:

(snowflakes)

NOTE: conda also puts an asterisk (*) in front of the active environment in your environment list; see above in “List all environments.”

My questions are: 1. why i don't see parentheses/brackets

  1. why activate python2 does work?

Code at powershell:

PS C:\Users\yzhang> conda info --envs

conda environments:

python2 d:\Anaconda3\envs\python2

root * d:\Anaconda3

PS C:\Users\yzhang> activate python2

prepending d:\Anaconda3\envs\python2 and d:\Anaconda3\envs\python2\Library\mingw-w64\bin and d:\Anaconda3\env s\python2\Library\usr\bin and d:\Anaconda3\envs\python2\Library\bin and d:\Anaconda3\envs\python2\Scripts t o PATH

PS C:\Users\yzhang> conda info --envs

conda environments:

python2 d:\Anaconda3\envs\python2

root * d:\Anaconda3

PS C:\Users\yzhang> python --version

Python 3.5.1 :: Anaconda 4.0.0 (64-bit)

I've verified there's python27 in path d:\\Anaconda3\\envs\\python2

Full support for activate/deactivate in Windows PowerShell has not currently been implemented. There is an open Pull Request at https://github.com/conda/conda/pull/2366 that you may be interested in tracking.
