I am using the latest Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS and installed ROS noetic using the tutorial using the commands:

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu $(lsb_release -sc) main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver 'hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80' --recv-key C1CF6E31E6BADE8868B172B4F42ED6FBAB17C654
sudo apt update
sudo apt install ros-noetic-desktop-full
echo "source /opt/ros/noetic/setup.bash" >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc

ashwani@ashwani:~$ printenv | grep ROS

ROS_VERSION=1
ROS_PYTHON_VERSION=3
ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/opt/ros/noetic/share
ROSLISP_PACKAGE_DIRECTORIES=
ROS_ETC_DIR=/opt/ros/noetic/etc/ros
ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311
ROS_ROOT=/opt/ros/noetic/share/ros
ROS_DISTRO=noetic

Then I tried to install catkin thing which handles the workspace

sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu `lsb_release -sc` main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
wget http://packages.ros.org/ros.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-catkin-tools

it shows error:

ashwani@ashwani:~$ sudo sh -c 'echo "deb http://packages.ros.org/ros/ubuntu `lsb_release -sc` main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ros-latest.list'
ashwani@ashwani:~$ wget http://packages.ros.org/ros.key -O - | sudo apt-key add -

Your issue is that you are trying to install a python2 version of catkin tools. You should be using the python3 version with ros noetic:

sudo apt install python3-osrf-pycommon python3-catkin-tools

Solution : apt and pip3 versions of catkin_tools are broken for noetic. Workaround is to install like this:

sudo pip3 install git+https://github.com/catkin/catkin_tools.git
