### How to Use the Installer Script

   
1.  **Make the script executable**: Make the script executable using the `chmod` command:
    
    `chmod +x install_latest_python.sh` 
    
2.  **Run the script**: Execute the script:
    
    `./install_latest_python.sh` 
    

This will automatically install the latest Python version (as per the specified `PYTHON_VERSION` in the script) and `pip`. Modify `PYTHON_VERSION=3.12` to the specific version you want, such as `3.12.7` if necessary.


### How the Uninstaller Works:

1.  **Detecting Python version**: The script detects the installed Python version using `python3 --version` and extracts the version number. If no Python version is detected, the script exits with an error message.
    
2.  **Uninstalling Python**: The script uninstalls the detected Python version along with related packages (`venv`, `dev`, `distutils`).
    
3.  **Uninstalling pip**: The script removes `pip`.
    
4.  **Removing the `deadsnakes` PPA**: It checks if the `deadsnakes` PPA exists in the system and removes it.
    
5.  **Cleaning up remaining packages**: It runs `apt autoremove` to remove unnecessary dependencies.
    
6.  **Verifying uninstallation**: It checks whether Python and `pip` are successfully uninstalled.
    

### How to Use the Uninstaller Script

1.  **Create the script file**: Save the script as `uninstall_python.sh`.
       
    `nano uninstall_python.sh` 
    
2.  **Make the script executable**: Make the script executable using the `chmod` command:
    
    `chmod +x uninstall_python.sh` 
    
3.  **Run the script**: Execute the script:
    
    `./uninstall_python.sh`
