Hi,
I'd really like to see these two features in easy_install which I can't find right now:
1 - coexist with the operating system/recognize packages which are installed via operating system means 2 - remove packages
Currently, when I want to easy_install a package, it starts downloading all sorts of stuff from PYPI although I have already similar (the same - maybe other versions) packages in my system which I installed via the operating system's package manager. I'd really like to not have to manually inspect a prospective package to then manually download and install all dependencies via the package manager, and then to proceed to easy_install -N the offending package, but instead have this process automated.
Switch to isolated Python environments....pretty easy using workingenv or virtual_python. -aj
