It seems like something is wrong with my python. I tried installing an upload module for nginx and it wasnt working so I decided to remove it and then re install it.

I posted on stackoverflow http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25588017/cant-remove-nginx?noredirect=1#comment39966807_25588017

The error I get when trying to remove is

sudo apt-get autoremove nginx
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  nginx
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 60 not upgraded.
3 not fully installed or removed.
After this operation, 87.0 kB disk space will be freed.

I get the same thing when trying to remove python
