So after I deinstall, the package is still shown, even though it's no longer in the system. It's still in the interpretors memory.

Do you mean on sys.path? If it's an .egg file or directory on sys.path it will probably still be listed as a distribution when you create a new WorkingSet. Either that, or it's an .egg-info egg whose .egg-info you didn't delete.

I have to restart the program for the refresh to work...

Ideally, I would like to see the package list refreshed immediately after a package is installed or removed. I can make a work around and hide packages that are deinstalled, but i was hoping to find an easier way.

You didn't answer my question.
