New submission from Andy Buckley <a...@insectnation.org>: It would make package maintenance easier, as well as integration with other build systems e.g. autotools (necessary for projects where not everything is Python), if the distutils supported an uninstallation command, e.g.
python setup.py uninstall This would presumably require monitoring of which files were installed where, and it's of course possible to do undesirable things, but exactly the same counter-arguments exist for autotools, and there the uninstall target is an important and useful feature for developers, once you know how to behave in a way to make it safe. ---------- components: Distutils messages: 77885 nosy: andybuckley severity: normal status: open title: Distutils should provide an uninstall command type: feature request versions: Python 2.5 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4673> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
