Ok, easy_install is really cool. Installing most of the packages (*) that one needs with easy_install makes the wish grow to use easy_install as a complete solution.
So, why can't easy_install manage the packages that I have installed in these ways: - list the packages that I have installed - remove one of them (completely!) if I don't want to use it any longer. Ok, easy_install -m package removes if from the .pth file, but it is still there on disk. Same if I upgrade a package to a newer version; old versions are left in Lib/site-packages. It looks like all the information that is needed to implement the above two features - is there a reason why this isn't implemented? (*) The one that I rememeber which failed badly was pychecker. IIRC, I ended with batch files in Python24\scripts that contained Python code. But maybe that's pychecker's fault, not easy_install's. _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
