debian python pip errors

Question

After trying to install the client onedrive-d with a script from github this error when accessing any python components. Maybe it's because of the multiple versions of python installed at the same time. How to correctly remove one?

Errors:

Answer 1

Quick fix is that you could specify the full path of Python you want to use ie

1. For Python 2.7: /usr/bin/python2.7 -m pip ...(cont.)
2. For Python 3.2: /usr/bin/python3.2 -m pip ...(cont.)

Your python path may not be in /usr/bin. To check where it is, use which python . -m flag means module.

I would recommend you to remove all Python altogether (via apt-get remove --purge ) and reinstall the version you really need
