Adam, Version 3 will overwrite version 2. No need to worry about
uninstalling. FiPy is the same as any other Python package in terms of
installation protocol.

Do I need to uninstall version 2 first, and if

No need. People get into trouble when they have an older version
installed, but have unpacked a newer version and then run from within
the unpacked directory (without installing it) or have packages on
multiple paths. Just don't do that and you should be fine.
