A simple shell script to un-install Python 3 versions from Mac OS/X.
Of course we all want Python 3 everywhere - but sometimes we want to remove the older version and install the latest version - or just do a re-install from scratch.
There is no need to check out this repository - just grab the uninstall-python3.sh file and download it
somewhere.
The script is designed to function as a dry run so you can see all that it will do. To run a dry run, do
bash uninstall-python3.sh
Examine the output - make sure that it is moving only the expected files. When you are convinced this will do what you expect, run
bash uninstall-python3.sh | sudo bash -v
To verify the files are gone, you can re-run
bash uninstall-python3.sh
It should produce no output.
And then you can happily re-install Python 3!
Here is the output of a sample run with the dry run first and the actual run second. At the very end, we re-run a dry run to make sure things are gone.
$ bash uninstall-python3.sh
