从 Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS 卸载 python3.8

Question

This is a pretty dumb question, but is ubuntu dependent on Python 3.8 ? If it is not, how can I uninstall it from my system?

Answer 1

You can uninstall it after installing a python3* version as alternative. You have to install python3.9 available from Ubuntu repository.

sudo apt install python3.9

Here is how to set it as default before uninstalling python3.8 .

Without a python3 installed the system will be unusable.

Python3 by default

Answer 2

Take a look at this:
From @progmatico, it's not recommended that you uninstall builtins on Ubuntu such as Python. You can update Python, but it's not reccomended to uninstall. You can uninstall Python 2.x here , but unless you have Python 2 installed on your machine, this won't be much help. Unless ROM is tight(if not, I suggest the Raspberry Pi(switchable SD cards)), you don't need to have Python uninstalled.
In summary, you don't need to uninstall Python, it's a great coding language;)

Answer 3

The advantage of using apt autoremove is to remove Python along with its dependencies.

sudo apt autoremove python3 -y

Answer 4

I found the easiest way actually is to simply install the latest pip...

curl -sS https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py | python3.8
