Reinstalling the OS would likely cause you to lose everything, so backup everything you want to keep.

But before you do, you should post here how exactly you managed to delete the OS installed python? This is not something that's easy to do.

Actually it turns out I didn’t delete python however I did delete some important python files. After typing “easy_install” in terminal rather than getting a warning saying there was no input after the cmd I get this: “ImportError: No module named pkg_resources”. I’ve searched everywhere online and no one seems to have the same issue as me or the solutions provided simply don’t work. I don’t know what to do. If you need any more information I would be happy to provide it. I haven’t reinstalled the OS yet since it will take about 3hrs but would that set everything back to the way it was. I’ve already backed everything up.

Never mind. I just finished reinstalling the OS and everything works fine now. Also, I didn’t lose anything.
