It would be helpful to know how you uninstalled it.

The message you saw looks like it comes from the installer rather than 
from the Python interpreter.  Try invoking Python with "py" (assuming 
you are using Windows). That is the standard Python launcher that is 
installed by the installer from python.org.

For the future, know that you can have several different versions of 
Python installed at the same time.  On Windows, you can launch a 
specific version using the launcher:

py -3.11
py -3.12

And so on.

On Linux you should use the full name, such as

python3.11
python3.12

etc., depending on which versions have been installed.  "python3" will 
get you the version used by the system, which may not be the one you 
want to use.

To install Python packages with pip, make sure you specify which version 
of pip to use, like this:

py -3.11 -m pip (Windows)

or

python3.11 -m pip (Linux)

Otherwise you make accidentally install the package into the wrong 
Python installation.
