This is the first time that I've tested using wheels and I have a
couple of questions.
Here's what I did (is this right?):
$ cat spam.py
# spam.py
print('running spam from:', __file__)
$ cat setup.py
from setuptools import setup
setup(name='spam',
version='1.0',
py_modules=['spam'])
$ python setup.py bdist_wheel
running bdist_wheel
...
creating build\bdist.win32\wheel\spam-1.0.dist-info\WHEEL
$ ls
build dist setup.py spam.egg-info spam.py
$ ls dist/
spam-1.0-py27-none-any.whl
Okay, so far so good. I have the wheel and everything makes sense. Now
I want to test installing it:
$ wheel install --wheel-dir=./dist/ spam
The line above gives no output. I expect something like 'installing
spam... installed.'. It also ran so quickly that I thought that
nothing had happened.
A quick check reveals that the module was installed:
$ cd ~
$ python -m spam
('running spam from:', 'q:\\tools\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages\\spam.py')
$ pip list | grep spam
spam (1.0)
So now how do I uninstall it?
$ pip uninstall spam
Can't uninstall 'spam'. No files were found to uninstall.
The wheel command doesn't seem to have an uninstall option either.
