Thanks John. However: "Known exceptions include pure-distutils packages installed with python setup.py install" I want to remove something that I installed that way (because it's installation procedure seems to be broken; opensocial) I understand that this can't be blamed on pip, but it's odd that in this century it's still hard to install/uninstall modules :-( -- John Bokma j3b Hacking & Hiking in Mexico - http://johnbokma.com/ http://castleamber.com/ - Perl & Python Development -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
