title: What is the safest way to removing Python framework files that are located in different place than Brew installs
body: <p>I want to remove a Python installed in location that brew complains about, when I run <code>brew doctor</code></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Warning:</strong> Python is installed at /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p><strong>What is the best way?</strong></p>
  
  <p><strong>Here are more details / research:</strong></p>
  
  <p>The message from the brew git <a href="https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/wiki/Homebrew-and-Python" rel="noreferrer">website</a>:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p><strong>Important:</strong> If you choose to install a Python which isn't either of
    these two (system Python or brewed Python), the Homebrew team can only
    provide limited support.</p>

  <p><strong>I want to make sure I am not missing anything before I remove the extra python libary.</strong> 
  Specifically, I want to remove the entire Python.framework, those files located here. 
  /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/</p>
  
  <p>I have Python 2.7.5 installed natively with Mavericks that I'll use instead - located in the path below. (The difference being -- I believe -- that its put in the <strong>root  /System folder</strong> instead of the <strong>root  /Library folder</strong>.) The good, native location is here:
  <code>/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin/python</code></p>
  
  <p>and I already installed python 3.x with <code>brew install python3</code>, which put it here:</p>
  
  <pre><code>==&gt; Summary
      /usr/local/Cellar/python3/3.4.0  : 5076 files, 85M, built in 112 seconds
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can I just delete these files or are their consequences (beyond having to relink)?
  <code>/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/</code></p>
  
  <p>Here are steps to remove python from a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3819449/how-to-uninstall-python-2-7-on-a-mac-os-x-10-6-4/3819829#3819829">stackoverflow question in 2010</a> and a <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22255579/homebrew-brew-doctor-warning-about-library-frameworks-python-framework-even-wi">similar question here</a></p>
  
  <p>Is that approach still sound? Is there anything I should be aware of?</p>
