Subj : Clean Python Install question

Hi there!

I hope all are healthy and well.  

I have both Python 3 and 2 installed on my machine to support various BBS
scripts but also for my college classes for web / software development.  It
was by complete "no option" as my instructors had us install Node on our
machines, and Node added Python 3 during it's auto install.  While I have
both working fantastic independantly and have learned the -3 or -2 commands
necesssary to call either version, I'm having continued issues with version
2.7.18 with a singular error:


"ImportError: cannot import name_remove_dead_weakref"

I've done tons of research on this error, however most are guys using linux,
and I'm using Windows 10.

The only common fix seems to be that when I had uninstalled and reinstalled
version 2.7.18 (long before I had version 3 on my machine and still had this
error) that it was not a "clean install."

I was curious to know one of the following:

1.  Has anyone discovered the solution to this error?  
2.  If not, can someone recommend the best way to UNINSTALL version 2.7.18 in
such a way that it actually removes all traces of it having existed, so that
I can do a clean install?

Any input is much appreciated,


Doug
