I had uninstalled python 3.10 because I want to run python 3.7.5
so I uninstalled all and there is no python folder or files in C drive.
but the registry have lots of python files and I don't know how to clean up this all files
One of the comments above has shown you the correct way to uninstall any version of Python.
If you have to use multiple versions of Python, it's recommended to use a version manager. Some good choices are Conda and pyenv-win.

I plan on uninstalling and reinstalling Python to fix pip. I, however, have a lot of python files which I worked hard on and I really don't want to lose them. Would my Python files be okay if I uninstalled Python?
If you are using Linux and a distribution like Ubuntu, you will definitely break the OS. Don't do it.
Moreover, there is no evidence that your installation is broken because of Python, and you may probably not solve your problem.
Your Python files are not specially managed by Python itself. If you uninstall Python, source code files (files with the .py extension) won't be affected.
There's no harm I can see in overwriting a pip installation. So, just follow the instructions and let us know if you have further problems:
Download get-pip.py.
Run python get-pip.py and get on with the rest of your stuff.
Before uninstalling python, make sure all your python applications support the new python version.
My suggestion is to create virtual environments in your system to use multiple python versions
Try Anaconda - https://www.anaconda.com/ to create multiple virtual environments, where you can run a python version on each environment.
It depends on whether you installed the Python or it came with the OS.
If you installed Python, it’s no problem at all — your files are safe and uninstalling Python won’t touch them.
If you’re planning on uninstalling the Python that came with your OS, I’d advise not do do that — it could cause a whole lot of trouble. Instead, you could install a new version of Python into your user directory and link to it by adding its location to the PATH variable used by your shell.
I have a variety of different Python versions installed on my Windows system- a 2.7 version, a 3.5 version, and a 3.6 version (there are a bunch of different packages that only work with one version, or are too buggy in the 3.6 version, etc.).
Long story short, I'm trying to keep my all my pips and python.exes in order. I've added my C:/Python35 and C:/Python36 and their Scripts folders to my path, but I also want to make sure that I am using the right pip from my command line (for example, I don't want to pip install pyinstaller to the 3.6 version, since Python 3.6 doesn't play well with pyinstaller as of right now.
I see that inside my Python3x/Scripts/ folder, there are three different pips available: pip, pip3.5, and pip3.
So whenever I want to install a module for 3.5, I plan to issue the following command pip3.5 install package_name. Whenever I want to install something for 3.6, I'd use pip or pip3. Seems like a decent enough plan to me.
However, can anyone confirm if the three pips are all the same executable? If so, I'd like to delete pip and pip3 so that I don't accidentally confuse it with my Python 3.6 pip- is this acceptable practice or am I missing something? This SO post provides some insights but doesn't explain why there's multiple pips in the same folder. Also, why are three separate pips provided? Is it simply for convenience from the command line?
Within the same python installation all the different pip files you find should be the same executable, there is the multiple versions simply to help keep everything in order if there are multiple installs of python on a single computer.
I personally only have the main version of python I use for development set to my PATH variable on my windows laptop and then if I need to do anything to a different python I instead link directly to the necessary file with something like C:\Python36\Scripts\pip3 install natsort but that is simply personal preference and my way of organizing.
If you do have them all on path you can then simply call out pip3.6 install <package name> or whatever python version you are using
The difference between them is that each one install the package in its own folder, for example if i type pip install Django, it will be placed for python 2 version, but is a little bit complex when you have multiple version of python3 like you showed, the solution: Don't delete the files and makevirtualenv when you're working, that avoid problems.
This prevents dependency issues with different versions of Python. You also check out virtualenvwrapper which is a convenient way to manage your virtual environments
If you want to manage the version with virtualenv
virtualenv python2_project -p usr/bin/python2.7
virtualenv p35_project -p usr/bin/python3.5
virtualenv p3x_project -p usr/bin/python3.x
I am trying to install Python 3.6.2 on a windows vps I have but I need admin rights to do it.
I tried a various different methods but none of them worked.
There is no MSI version for python 3 so that does not work either.
Any ideas?
I know this might get me in trouble for suggesting thirdparty solutions, but Anaconda saved my bacon so many times in your situation, it's not even funny.
https://docs.continuum.io/anaconda/install/windows
I found that i couldn't install the latest version for the same reasons you stated but if you select a previous version it will install fine.
https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
(assuming you are on windows)
This doesn't answer the question of how to install that version, but if you are happy with a previous version then, this could work.
You could try the embeddable version (Really a zipped portable version), but I'm not sure about dependencies management (i.e. pip) and path variables and whatnot.
I accidentally downloaded Python 3.4.2 a while back but I actually needed Python 2.7, so I deleted the 3.4.2 files and downloaded 2.7 instead. Now I need Python 3, so I tried to download it but I noticed that in the control panel in the Uninstall Programs section it tells me that the 3.4.2 from back then is still on my PC.
Every time I try to uninstall/change/repair/download a newer version I can't and it tells me
A program required to complete the installation can not be found...
I can not find any remaining files connected to any sort of Python in my PC. My operating system is Windows 10. Does someone know how to solve this?
Did you try to reinstall the version you want to delete and then uninstall it afterwards ?
Try to clean Path in environment variables see here
Just delete the old version path, looks like this: C:\Python27\;
I'm running Windows 7 and I currently have python 3.3 installed on my system. I need to install the python 2.7 interpreter so that I can work with some outdated code, and I don't want to uninstall Python 3.3. Does anyone know how to do this without reinstalling IDLE and duplicating the system files that python33 and python27 have in common? Thanks.
As both the python versions are installed in different folders, so you need not worry about it.
You can use set "PYTHONPATH=%PYTHONPATH%;C:\My_python_lib" command in windows to temporary change the default python version to use.
While working on the projects requiring different python, you can use virtual environment approach. The following link will help you on this topic: http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/dev/virtualenvs/
This is widely used concept by python developers.
just install them in different folders.
When you install python 2.7 , it will be automatically be installed in a different folder just go into that folder and run python idle from there.
