I guess your professor just asked you to download Pycharm. It is just MacOS that happens to have Python 2.6 inbuilt. Had your professor actually wanted you to be using Python 2 (I doubt), that would have been 2.7. Regardless of that I recommend having latest Python 2 or 3 as per your requirements, from python.org. In Pycharm, you can access Python Console from bottom right (Make sure you select correct version of Python in your project settings.) Or in MacOS, just type python and then type commands and check for yourself. BTW, You can know more about what you are going to test here:- https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/introduction.html#strings

I'm not sure where to do so, my professor had us download Pycharm for mac's which uses python 2.6 -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
