Is there a method to completely uninstall on macOS?
#1
I'm doing a clean install of macOS Mojave on my MacBook Pro, and recently downloaded the latest version of the Python installer 3.8.1, then double clicked the .pkg file to install it.

It was only after doing this, then running python3, that I got a notice indicating I needed to accept the Xcode user license - WTF, had not seen that on prior OS rebuilds. Once I did that, then again ran python3 --version, I see Python 3.7.3 returned, which is coming from /usr/bin/python3 added by Xcode and earlier on the path, so I'm never getting to the 3.8.1 version installed via the package I downloaded here. 3.7.3 is late enough for me, and I'd rather just use what comes with Xcode and remove this other version installed in /usr/local/bin.

But, it's not clear how I do that - I have not been able to find any instructions on this site or via searching "uninstall" on this forum to see how it's done, if it can be done.

Hope I'm asking in the right place...
