How to remove dash from macOS 10.15.1?

Dash Python
1

Hey there,

I’ve got dash installed on my macOS at the location: /bin/dash but I’d like to delete it from there as pip3 can’t update it at that location. When I open iPython and print out:

In [1]: import dash_core_components

In [2]: print(dash_core_components.__version__)

1.5.0

I get version 1.5.0. When I try to install dash using pip3, it gets installed in /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages:

~ % pip3 install dash

I am trying to delete dash from /bin/bash - what’s the best way to do that? Can I just do rm -rf ?

pip uninstall dash or pip3 uninstall dash doesn’t work?

Thanks for the suggestion!

Doing pip3 uninstall dash only removes it from /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/.

Running it again results in: WARNING: Skipping dash as it is not installed.

Running which dash results in /bin/dash

Could this be an issue related to operating systems? Before Catalina (10.15), packages might’ve installed in /bin/ but after, the location for packages changed.

Maybe this dash executable is something else than plotly Dash, I don’t think there is a Dash executable. Can you do man dash to check? On my linux installation /bin/dash is a type of shell.

Aha! Right you are! That was not a dash executable, but a type of shell as well.

Additionally, I also realized that doing dash.__version__ does actually produce 1.6.0, but dash-core-components is still at 1.5.0 (https://github.com/plotly/dash-core-components/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md)

tl;dr: I mistakenly linked two unrelated issues together.

Thanks for the help! Consider this issue closed.
