2.7 Python uninstallation on Mac OS.
#1
Hello,

How could I completely remove Pyhton 2.7 from Mac?

Are you referring to what comes pre-installed? You don't want to do that, the OS relies on it and you'll ruin your whole system.

Figured it out, we need to manualy remove program files from multiple locations on Mac OS, there is no easy and clean uninstall method.

I would not do that if I were you. It is part of macOS and there are occasionaly some dependencies on it.

I have 2.7, 3.5, 3.6.5, and 3.7 installed on my 15"rMBP running macOS 10.14 Mojave. I have aliases set in my bash profile so that my preferred version is run when I enter just python.
I am trying to help you, really, even if it doesn't always seem that way

i won't touch any of the factory installed software if I were you. You never know which component in the macos relies on python2, leave it be. It doesn't take up much memory anyways.
