Splunk 8 ships with both Python 2 and Python 3 so there's nothing to install or upgrade. Python 2 is the default, which is why you see that version reported. To change the default, set python.version = python3 in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local. See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/8.0.1/Python3Migration/ChangesEnterprise#Python_interpr... for details.
