The only way is to to use easy_install -m to remove the entry from the .pth file and then manually delete the package. The details are here http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall?action=highlight&value=uninstall#uninstalling-packages However, you shouldn't be using easy_install at all. pip[1] has all but superseded it. It has an uninstall command and does most things more sanely than does easy_install.

The idea of asking on a mailing list is to get experiences of other users - please give the OP credit to have the good sense to search before asking questions. -- regards Kenneth Gonsalves http://lawgon.livejournal.com/ ___ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers

Well, it does look like the best option, to me. And the easy install documentation also give that as the way to uninstall http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall#uninstalling-packages Anyway, I am not aware of a different way to do it :) Also, I pointed to that link since you said you don't see an uninstall option. It was to tell that there is no direct command line switch, but a different option that leads to it. Thanks -- Thank you Balachandran Sivakumar Arise Awake and stop not till the goal is reached.
