Why do I have 2 Pythons installed? Question: Why do I have two python3's installed (10.15.6)? /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/bin/python3 ~/Library/Python/3.7/lib/python/ Is there any reason I should not delete the one in my userfolder, since no path points to it? And why is it there and not in the Frameworks folder? Or alternatively, should I delete the one in the Frameworks folder and direct python to my userfolder?
