That (at least as I read it) is a function, not a command. If it is a command, give an example of its use from the command line for us poor "don't want to research" people. If the following works:
$ python setup.py uninstall some_package
Then explicitly say so for us poor schlubs.
Right, I'll add that. Although it will be a reference implementation only.
-1. Where does the setup.py file come from? If I have docutils installed, and want to remove it, must I download the source again so that I can get the setup.py, so I can run the uninstall? This is daft - particularly given that the point of PEP 376 is to ensure that all of the required information is available from the installed package! As I suggested before: python -m distutils.uninstall packagename Calling it a "reference implementation" should not imply that it's not built to be usable and complete. If it's there,m people should be able to use it. Paul.
