Cannot Uninstall Poetry on

[gloc-mike]

• I am on the latest Poetry version.
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate.
• If an exception occurs when executing a command, I executed it again in debug mode (-vvv option).

• OS version and name: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6
• Poetry version: 0.12.8
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your pyproject.toml file: Not relevant to uninstall

Issue

I originally installed Poetry using curl (release 0.12.4). It has successfully been upgraded to 0.12.8. I have decided to uninstall it now because I am suffering similar problems to others where Poetry ignores pyenv local 3.7.1 and picks up the brew installed version of python 2.7.15. Anyway, when I try to uninstall Poetry using python get-poetry.py --uninstall I get /usr/local/Cellar/python@2/2.7.15_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Resources/Python.app/Contents/MacOS/Python: can't open file 'get-poetry.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory.

This is also the problem if I attempt to use a different version of python.

Is there another way to uninstall it?

You need to download the get-poetry.py file and execute:python get-poetry.py --uninstall or execute POETRY_UNINSTALL=1 bash -c 'curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdispater/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | python'.

There is also a self:uninstall command in the works but it's not ready yet.

The above command throws the warning of what it will do but doesnt actually do it.

I think its not just poetrys fault but also pyenvs fault. Not a great start to being an alternative to pipenv

Actually having ran those commands on all my python versions poetry still exists somewhere. Where does it live? Why does it continue to pick up the wrong python version?

edit: I had to set pyenv version to system

@sdispater get-poetry.py state about self:uninstall but there running poetry self:uninstall spit CommandNotFound.

[bersace]

Note that curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdispater/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | POETRY_UNINSTALL=1 python is enough.

@bersace When running your code it only returns :
# We are sorry to see you go!

This will uninstall Poetry.

It will remove the `poetry` command from Poetry's bin directory, located at:

$HOME/.poetry/bin

This will also remove Poetry from your system's PATH.

But it doesn't actually do anything.

edit: Doh. Like ekhaydarov I used the wrong python installation. Works like a charm 👍

I ran this with my the installer with the --uninstall flag via my system python on ubuntu 20 and it did nothing

[vluzrmos]

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdispater/poetry/master/get-poetry.py | POETRY_UNINSTALL=1 python

I removed it manually:

rm -rf ~/.local/share/pypoetry
rm -rf ~/.poetry
