    Call the school library, if they are open, and get the name of the textbook. The publisher's website or reviews at a bookseller's site like Barnes & Noble should tell you which it is.

    While you're learning, it's probably a good idea to know which, even though (as EddieJ noted) there's not much difference between the two. You should install Python on your home computer so that you can try out code at home, and it's a bit easier if you have just one version of Python installed.

    If you're limited to an "appliance" OS like Android, iOS or a ChromeBook, then you'll have to use online sites like IDEOne.com or the coding ground at tutorialspoint.com. Those are convenient, but limit the sort of programs you can run. When you get to file I/O, they are pretty much useless.
