Greetings everybody,
Salaam,
I installed a local package using
python -m pip install <path-to-package-folder>
Now if you install the same package from pypi, it says requirements already
satisfied pointing to the location of the local package folder instead of
site -package
pip uninstall does not work as the package is not in site-package in the
first
place
importing the package does not work as the package is not in site-package
it won't install and won't delete
Q: How do i remove the reference of a local package?

NB this problem avoided by using virtual environments/machines which are
tailored to the individual application; thereby evincing no differences
between 'system-wide' and 'lesser' installations.
Related?OT:
Is there a tool which will identify?estimate how packages were
installed? eg pip[2] cf pip3, pip --user, pip system-wide, Linux apt/rpm
installer, ...
...and thus how to uninstall! Also, because something installed one-way
may (as described above) 'prevent' its installation in an alternate mode.
(experienced an issue where the version of pytest installed with/by/for
the VS-Codium(?) add-on package differed from the one which I thought
I'd just updated using (Linux Fedora's) DNF - the newer version
requiring more recent dependencies that the IDE claimed 'weren't there'.
It took quite a bit of circling around to determine the problem, and yet
more to be sure of fixing it without causing 'collateral damage'!)
