Thanks for that tip.
Does that mean that only this .egg is where python imports all pyreadline
files from? And if so, can I delete
'f:\ProgramFiler\Python27\lib\site-packages\pyreadline' ?
This sounds like a fairly high risk of breaking something (presumably
there is some reason the files are where they are) for absolutely no
gain. It's not like it takes up any meaningful amount of space, is it?
Why would you want to?
True, disk space is a few cents per Gigabyte. But maybe to reduce the
clutter on my disk and to keep things neat and simple.
I feel as a Python newbie, the file-structure / residue from various
package-installs clutters the 'Lib/site-packages' a great deal.
There is probably a tool to analyse "dead" Python package installs?
