Hi, I'm at a very beginning level of Python knowledge, but I use several Python programs via the Macintosh Unix Terminal. I was trying to quickly see which version of Python I am running and typed in the command "python -v". That was obviously not the correct command to use. It installed several things and now I'm unable to run my Python programs.
Can someone tell me if there there is a way to undo the python -v command? Any suggestions for how I can remedy the situation. I'm ready to crawl into a dark hole and hide - I feel very foolish! Thanks so much for putting up with a newbie's silly question. Here's the Terminal output in case that helps at all: admin$ python -v # installing zipimport hook import zipimport # builtin # installed zipimport hook # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site.py import site # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/site.pyc # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/os.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/os.py import os # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/os.pyc import posix # builtin # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/posixpath.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/posixpath.py import posixpath # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/posixpath.pyc # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/stat.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/stat.py import stat # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/stat.pyc # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/UserDict.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/UserDict.py import UserDict # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/UserDict.pyc # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/copy_reg.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/copy_reg.py import copy_reg # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/copy_reg.pyc # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/types.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/types.py import types # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/types.pyc # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/warnings.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/warnings.py import warnings # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/warnings.pyc # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/linecache.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/linecache.py import linecache # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/linecache.pyc import encodings # directory /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/encodings # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/encodings/__init__.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/encodings/__init__.py import encodings # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/encodings/__init__.pyc # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/codecs.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/codecs.py import codecs # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/codecs.pyc import _codecs # builtin # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/encodings/aliases.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/encodings/aliases.py import encodings.aliases # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/encodings/aliases.pyc # /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/encodings/ascii.pyc matches /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/encodings/ascii.py import encodings.ascii # precompiled from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/encodings/ascii.pyc Python 2.4.4 (#1, Oct 18 2006, 10:34:39) [GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. import readline # dynamically loaded from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.4/lib/python2.4/lib-dynload/readline.so >>>
