Hi, I started to write a detailed description of the uninstall feature based on the previous threads we had, and there are two points I'd like to discuss: 1. should the uninstall command be part of the Python interpreter itself ? for instance, be callable like this : $ python -r MyPackage or : $ python --remove-package MyPackage 2. If we add an uninstall command, it makes sense to me to add an install command as well, at the same level. maybe : $ python -a MyPackage or : $ python --add-package MyPackage Regards Tarek -- Tarek Ziadé | Association AfPy | www.afpy.org Blog FR | http://programmation-python.org Blog EN | http://tarekziade.wordpress.com/

Don't think I like this. Seems a very big jump from how this normally works. What I mean is that it feels like it's builtin interperter functionality, while really it's a module/script doing distutils-like stuff. I'd feel more comfortable with something like: $ python -m some_tool --remove MyPackage
for instance, be callable like this :
$ python -r MyPackage
Definitely -1 on the short option. Regards Floris -- Debian GNU/Linux -- The Power of Freedom www.debian.org | www.gnu.org | www.kernel.org
