If the cannonical way to install a python app is python setup.py install
one would expect the following to uninstall it python setup.py uninstall However, distutils doesn't automatically take care of that for you. Is this by design? Or is this something that could/should be addressed in a future version of distutils? The reason this came up for me is that I have a scheduled script that downloads the cvs/svn versions of certain python apps (w/extensions), and then builds and installs them to site-packages automatically by 'python setup.py install'. Just to be extra clean about it, I would prefer to uninstall first, and then install. AK PS: I also have to manually uninstall apps from Mac OS X panther: searching for .plists etc. I wonder if that was deliberate or otherwise too... hmm... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
