Hi,

I'd really like to see these two features in easy_install which I can't
find right now:

 1 - coexist with the operating system/recognize packages which are
     installed via operating system means
 2 - remove packages

Currently, when I want to easy_install a package, it starts downloading
all sorts of stuff from PYPI although I have already similar (the same
- maybe other versions) packages in my system which I installed via
the operating system's package manager. I'd really like to not have to
manually inspect a prospective package to then manually download and
install all dependencies via the package manager, and then to proceed
to easy_install -N the offending package, but instead have this process
automated.


Switch to isolated Python environments....pretty easy using workingenv or virtual_python.
