I'm using Ubuntu 13.10. I was trying to finish a project using python 2.7, so that I installed python version 2.7.6 into my system. But now my system is not functioning properly & some apps aren't working.

How do I go back and restore the python to its default?

    How did you installed it? – Braiam Jan 28 '14 at 04:28
  • Python should be backwards compatible, no? I get py3 and py2, but not py2.7 to py2.7.6 – Kaz Wolfe Jan 28 '14 at 04:31

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! The best way to add additional information to your question is by editing it, with the *edit* button. It is better visible that way, and comments are mainly for secondary, temporary purposes. Comments are removed under a variety of circumstances. Anything important to your question should be in the question itself. – guntbert Jan 28 '14 at 20:51
