Remove third-party installed Python on Mac?
<p>So I installed python 2.7.11 a few months ago, now the class I'm about to take uses 3. So I installed 3 and it works fine. I also uninstalled 2.7.11 by going to applications and removing it, but going to terminal and typing which python, the directory is <code>Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python</code>, which means this it's still not removed.</p>

<p>What should I do...leave it alone? I only need Python 3, but this is bothering me a bit.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>This doesn't answer the question in the post's title, but leave Python 2 as the default <code>python</code>. If you want to run Python 3, you run <code>python3</code> or maybe <code>python3.4</code> or <code>python3.5</code>, depending on your installation. The system and other third-party software depend on <code>python</code> being Python 2. If you change it, you may encounter puzzles down the road. </p>

<p>I'm not sure if having a third-party Python 2 is good (OS X ships with Python 2 already), but it should be fine.</p>

<p>Edit: Sorry, didn't see there was already an answer. It was posted as I was typing.</p>
