I accidentally installed enum34 globally on my mac. I run pip uninstall enum34 and I get this massive error I don't understand

quantumcalzone@QuantumCalzones-MacBook-Pro ~ % pip uninstall enum34

Something about my python 2.7 license being not valid? I'm kind of clueless as to where to go from here and from my googling few have had the same issue and did not share what fixed it for them (if they even managed to).

    Have you tried ```sudo pip uninstall enum34```? Or using ```pip3 uninstall enum34```? – Lilya Aug 28 '20 at 08:51
  • Also, there is a new python version available: https://www.python.org/downloads/release/python-385/ You can upgrade it. ```python2``` and ```python3``` can co-exist, so there is no need in uninstalling ```python``` which can be even dangerous – Lilya Aug 28 '20 at 09:28
  • @Lilya pip3 uninstall enum34 results in WARNING: Skipping enum34 as it is not installed. – QuantumCalzone Aug 28 '20 at 23:53
  • I had the same issue with mkdocs. Please, read this question and the answer. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63593069/mkdocs-is-not-found-but-possible-to-uninstall-on-macos – Lilya Aug 29 '20 at 04:55
