how to switch from 64 bit python 2.7 to 32 bit python 2.7 on mac

I need to switch from 64 bit python to 32 bit, in order to run py-game. because py-game only comes in 32 bit version and does not come in 64 bit. so i either have to be able to switch it from 64 to 32 or uninstall the 64 and install the 32. and on that note i have no idea how to do either of them.

thanks

Install the 32-bit version here:

https://www.python.org/download/

I don't recommend uninstalling the 64 bit version as it could potentially break some programs in your computer.

But should you want to follow through (and again, I don't recommend), follow this tutorial here: http://wolfpaulus.com/jounal/mac/installing_python_osx/

Basic overview (please look at guide for the complete safer way to do this):

sudo rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7
sudo rm -rf "/Applications/Python 2.7"

This will remove python from your system. And to furthermore complete, find the related-python links in: /usr/local/bin use ls and rm -rfto delete them.
