I share this objection. Also, the name 'easy_install' gives no indication that it's specific to Python. Such a generic name shouldn't be chosen for such a specific subsystem. Further, when other, non-install actions are introduced (such as the much-requested "uninstall" action), we should already have a name that will allow those actions to fit. I would hate to see the existing situation compounded by the introduction of some 'easy_uninstall' command. The suggestion of 'pyegg' for the command name seems like a good start, but there are doubtless others that should be considered. -- \ "I went to a general store.
