    #!/usr/bin/env bash

    # This script will uninstall all the versions of Python 3.x
    # on your Mac OS/X system - It is designed to function as a dry run
    # so you can see all that it will do. To run a dry run, do
    #
    # bash uninstall-python3.sh
    #
    # Examine the output - make sure that it is moving only the expected
    # files. When you are convinced this will do what you expect run
    #
    # bash uninstall-python3.sh | sudo bash -v
    #
    # To verify the files are gone, you can re-run
    #
    # bash uninstall-python3.sh
    #
    # It should produce no output.
    #
    # And then you can happily re-install Python 3
