Actually, something doesn't look quite right here:
# dpkg --list | grep -E "python.?-certbot"
ii python-certbot-nginx 0.28.0-1+ubuntu16.04.1+certbot+3 all transitional dummy package
ii python3-certbot 0.28.0-1+ubuntu16.04.1+certbot+4 all main library for certbot
ii python3-certbot-nginx 0.25.0-2+ubuntu16.04.1+certbot+1 all Nginx plugin for Certbot```
