It is impossible to uninstall a package if you don't have a recording of what was installed. Removing every directories is a bad idea, as it may remove files which were not installed by the package. No packaging system does that. That's actually one of the very few rules which is followed by any installation method, be it windows installer, linux packages, etc... cheers, David _______________________________________________ Distutils-SIG maillist - Distutils-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig
