ok so far, from the whole dicussion it seems that everyone agrees that
the Python version is superfluous
in the .egg-info files, so I'll update the PEP for this point.
I'll also start to write more details about uninstallation
As P.J.Eby pointed out the importance of PEP 262, could all the egg-info
directories be also
put into a subdirectory called "install-db" as described in that PEP. As
proposed by P.J.Eby
in PEP262 under "open issues", there could/should be one of these for
each directory
where packages are installed.
So to repeat the initial example for zlib, it should look like this:
zlib/
install_db/
zlib-2.5.2.egg-info/
PKG-INFO
MANIFEST
RECORD
The name of the "install_db" directory would not be that important, e.g.
it could e.g. be called "egg-info" and
the ".egg-info" extension from the zlib egg-info directory name could be
stripped, making the parsing of the listdir() call
even faster 8-)
