As far as I know, there is no documented way to totally install a
python.org OS X installation and the OS X installer does not provide a
general way to uninstall a package. So it would be nice for the Python
installer to provide some sort of uninstall script.
In the meantime, if you just want to temporarily revert, you can modify
your .bash_profile or other login shell initialization to fix $PATH to
not add "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/bin" to $PATH
(you'll probably find this was added at the end of .bash_profile by the
installer or by "Update Shell Profile.command") and/or to not have
/usr/local/bin appear before /usr/bin on $PATH.
If you want to permanently remove the python.org installed version,
paste the following lines up to and including the chmod into a posix-
compatible shell:
tmpfile=/tmp/generate_file_list
cat <<"NOEXPAND" > "${tmpfile}"
#!/bin/sh
version="${1:-"2.6"}"
file -h /usr/local/bin/* | grep \
"symbolic link to ../../../Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/"\
"Versions/${version}" | cut -d : -f 1
echo "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/${version}"
echo "/Applications/Python ${version}"
set -- Applications Documentation Framework ProfileChanges \
SystemFixes UnixTools
for package do
echo "/Library/Receipts/Python${package}-${version}.pkg"
done
NOEXPAND
chmod ug+x ${tmpfile}
----
The shell script writes to its standard output a list of files and top-
level directories that should be removed. You can examine the list by
just running the script:
${tmpfile} 2.6
To actually delete the files:
${tmpfile} 2.6 | sed -e "s/^.*$/sudo rm -r \"&\"/g" | sh
You will still have to manually edit your .bash_profile script as above.
Another minor loose end is that the script does not attempt to modify
the frameworks "Versions/Current" symlink but I don't know of anything
that depends on that.
