Have a look here - https://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide
Python came with your operating system, removing it is not recommended. If you remove it, whatever tools were written in Python will no longer run. Reinstalling the whole system would then be required to fix things again. Many programs running on Linux use Python
