Do not attempt to remove any Apple-supplied system Python which are in /System/Library and /usr/bin, as this may break your whole operating system.
NOTE: The steps listed below do not affect the Apple-supplied system Python 2.7; they only remove a third-party Python framework, like those installed by python.org installers.
The complete list is documented here. Basically, all you need to do is the following:
Remove the third-party Python 2.7 framework
sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7
Remove the Python 2.7 applications directory
sudo rm -rf “/Applications/Python 2.7”
Remove the symbolic links, in /usr/local/bin, that point to this Python version. See them using
ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep ‘../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7’
and then run the following command to remove all the links:
cd /usr/local/bin/
ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep ‘../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7’ | awk ‘{print $9}’ | tr -d @ | xargs rm
If necessary, edit your shell profile file(s) to remove adding /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7 to your PATH environment file. Depending on which shell you use, any of the following files may have been modified:
~/.bash_login, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.cshrc, ~/.profile, ~/.tcshrc, and/or ~/.zprofile.
This one works:
cd /usr/local/bin/
ls -l /usr/local/bin | grep ‘../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7’ | awk ‘{print $9}’ | tr -d @ | xargs rm
Description:
It list all the links, removes @ character and then removes them.
