Run `python —version` (and pip —version etc.) to make sure python is installed #115

Currently we run 'python' and 'pip' rather than 'python --version' and 'pip --version' on the Setting Up Your Computer page. Checking the version of your installed software and actually running it are two different things. The command line output for the current instructions might confuse new people.

Switched for pip but left python there since I want people to start getting use to the Python shell.

Will push an update later today.
