I'm on Ubuntu 22.04.1 which comes whit its own python3.11 and have just installed an alternative python version (3.7.9 ) from source (I'm not able to use apt for this python version), doing the following
cd usr/lib
sudo wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.9/Python-3.7.9.tgz
sudo tar xzf Python-3.7.9.tg
cd Python-3.7.9
sudo ./configure --enable-optimizations
sudo make altinstall
The executable (python3.7 file) was correctly installed in /usr/local/bin (I found this path running which python3.7), where also other files were installed (es. 2to3-3.7; easy_install-3.7 ; idle3.7; pip3.7 ; pydoc3.7; python3.7m-config; python3.7m; pyvenv-3.7).
A file called python3.7 was also installed in /usr/local/lib.
Of course there is also a file called python3.7.9 in /urs/lib.
Sincerely I don't know if other files were installed and were.
I want to delete this python installation: do I have to do it manually or there exists a simpler way?
I would add that I don't have a make uninstall option.
I also tried make clean and make distclean but nothing happened (the above-mentioned files are still present and python3.7 is still working).
If there isn't an intelligent way to uninstall, is it sufficient to manually delete python3.7 related files from /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, /urs/lib or am I missing something?
Thanks
