Hi,

I have distutils 0.9 install under Python 2.7. I want to uninstall it.
 I am on a Macbook pro running Lion. The site-packages directory is in
/Lib/Python/2.7/site-packages.  There distutils exists along with a
lot of other stuff  I have installed.  I do not have pip installed and
in fact installed distutils 0.9 from the distutils directory by
running as usual sudo python2.7 setup.py install.  I am unsure whether
I can just remove the distutils stuff in the site-packages directory
and do so safely.  Can you please advise me on the safe way to
completely remove distutils?

Thanks for your help.

Comer
