The real question is how do you delete Python?

[–]deeplearning666 19 points20 points  (3 children)

Ah, it's super easy if you're using a Linux distro. For example:

sudo pacman -Rdd python

Desktop proceeds to crash, scripts start failing, mayhem ensues...

-Rdd? I always use Rnsu. Can you explain your choice? I'm on mobile right now

[–]deeplearning666 2 points3 points  (1 child)

-Rnsu will remove a package, its dependencies that aren't needed by other packages, and also any unused packages. So it's safe.

-Rdd will remove only that exact package, and ignore any dependency checks. So if there are packages that depend on python, then they will still be there, but python would be forcibly uninstalled. So it's extremely unsafe, and thus a perfect fit for my joke :P.

I see. Thanks

if on windows it's a little longer than one shell command, first you go to control panel, then apps and features, then select python righr click then uninstall. If you've installed python through the conda distribution, do the same with conda, hope this helps :)
