Thanks for that, Alan.  I knew that I had Python 2 by default and did not have 
to install it, but had not queried why.  I clearly should have.  I should 
also, of course, check whether something is a dependancy of something else 
before suggesting its removal. :-(  Luckily, if he used a package manager of 
any kind, it would have warned him that it is a dependancy of various 
packages.


If it was already on the system , I wonder why the OP needed to install it?
