I can't remove python. I'm not kidding, it doesn't get uninstalled.

[david503]

I've spent like a week's worth of man-hours trying to get uwgsi to work (see https://python-forum.io/Thread-ImportErr...#pid104516 ), and my problem must be obscure because no one's advice works (or I get no responses to posts on forums), I got desperate so tried removing python and reinstalling it. It won't uninstall.

Ubuntu 18.04.2

sudo apt-get remove python.

It does a lot of stuff, clears up 250something MB.

I type python. I get a python prompt.
I type python2. I get a prompt.
I type python3. I get a prompt.

So I sudo apt-get remove python3.

Once again, it removes a bunch of packages, etc, clears up (now it's 500something MB)

I type python3.
I get a prompt.

It won't die.

It's not like I have it in some obscure place.

bog@bog-Lenovo-Product:~/tdailydiscount$ which python
/usr/bin/python
bog@bog-Lenovo-Product:~/tdailydiscount$ which python3
/usr/bin/python3
bog@bog-Lenovo-Product:~/tdailydiscount$ which python2
/usr/bin/python2

How do I kill python so I can reinstall it?
