I literally don't know what else to try I have tried every tutorial I can find and even my teacher doesn't know whats going on!

EDIT:: I just realised that on the second line it says

100 INFO: Python: 3.6.0

So how can I make it use Python 3.5

Answer 1

(This should probably be a comment, but.. rep issues)

The printout you posted mentions that you run this as Python 3.6. To avoid this you might want to make sure your PATH variable contains only the installation you need; 3.5.

This should at least fix you running this as the wrong version of python. It might not solve other issues.

EDIT: Environment Variables in Windows:

• Open File Explorer, and right click on "This PC" in the left pane.
• Click on Properties in the Context menu that opens.
• In the left pane, click on Advanced System Settings.
• Under the "Advanced" tab at the bottom, click on Environment Variables.
• Select 'Path' in the top pane, and click Edit.
• Change the path to python to the location of the version you need.
