When I was first starting out my programming adventures with Python, someone told me that I should work with Python 3 instead of 2 because that’s what will be maintained in the future (this was some 8 years ago). I decided to listen and when I got home I opened up my terminal, wrote:
In my days of learning Python, I was told to use pyenv and set environments based on the projects rather than making changes to the system. Maybe there are better options nowadays.
I somehow did some bash wizardry that reinstalled all the packages that were removed with python and was good to go. Nice to see someone else did the exact same thing though

sudo apt-get remove pythonFollowed by
sudo apt-get install python3Only to be suddenly greeted with:
sudo: command not foundI remember I did the same mistakes few years ago. If I’m not mistaken, there is a big warning message when you try to remove Python, no?
Why does removing python remove half the OS though? Does it remove all the things that depend on it?

Anaconda for example
Pyenv is still a good option
Pyenv is always reliable
Haha I’ve done this.
