    Is there a way to unstall Python 2.7?

    I installed 2.7 yesterday and am having problems with screenlets not running, etc.

    Does anyone know a way of uninstalling 2.7 such that the system falls back to 2.6?

    Good point. My system seems to be running 2.6 by default. Did you install 2.7 on your own? If not you could already be running 2.6.

    (I'm not trying to suggest you aren't smart enough to know which version you are running. Everyone makes mistakes and it can be helpful to ask these questions sooner rather than later.)

    If you are, indeed, running 2.7 there seem to be entries for both 2.7 and 2.6 in the ubuntu software center. Rolling back to 2.6 would probably be as simple as opening up the software center, uninstalling 2.7 and installing 2.6.

    I'm afraid we need more information to offer some advice. We need to know the method you used to install it. For example:

    • from a ppa, which one?
    • from a .deb package, if so where did you get it?
    • compiled from source, where did you get it?
    • following instructions from a tutorial, which one?

    Regards.
