[Tutor] python -v command

[Stephanie]

Hi,
I'm at a very beginning level of Python knowledge, but I use several Python
programs via the Macintosh Unix Terminal.  I was trying to quickly see which
version of Python I am running and typed in the command "python -v".  That
was obviously not the correct command to use.  It installed several things
and now I'm unable to run my Python programs.

Can someone tell me if there there is a way to undo the python -v command?
Any suggestions for how I can remedy the situation.

I'm ready to crawl into a dark hole and hide - I feel very foolish!  Thanks
so much for putting up with a newbie's silly question.

Here's the Terminal output in case that helps at all:
