[issue21] adding uninstall feature to easy_install
New submission from chris <cdcasey@gmail.com>: There is currently no uninstall feature in setuptools. Here is a proposed implementation: * By default, use easy_install's --record option and place the resulting file list in the project's EGG-INFO directory, whether the project is zip-safe or not. Use the list for determining which files should be uninstalled. * Do a back-check of dependencies on all currently installed projects, and warn the user how uninstalling a project could affect other projects. * Provide option of uninstalling dependencies that are no longer needed by the project being uninstalled (or other installed projects). * Remove entry from easy_install.pth ---------- messages: 38 nosy: ccasey priority: feature status: chatting title: adding uninstall feature to easy_install _______________________________________________ Setuptools tracker <setuptools@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue21> _______________________________________________
