philobyte <peter.a.si...@gmail.com> added the comment: python setup.py uninstall should do all the same processing as 'install' but whenever it gets to the point of copying a file to a system destination, it should instead unlink the destination.
besides the obvious use, here is another one: when upgrading a package, and the new version no longer includes certain files, just installing the new version will leave leftovers of the previous version installed. using uninstall beforehand will clean out the cruft. ---------- nosy: +philobyte _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4673> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
