[1] I'd actually like it if the PEP defined an uninstall command -
something like "python -m distutils.uninstall packagename". It can be
as minimalist as you like, but I'd like to see it present.
it's already there:
http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0376/#adding-an-uninstall-function
That (at least as I read it) is a function, not a command.
If it is a command, give an example of its use from the command line
for us poor "don't want to research" people. If the following works:
$ python setup.py uninstall some_package
Then explicitly say so for us poor schlubs.
Right, I'll add that. Although it will be a reference implementation
only.
Uninstall as a command feels a little weird....
I dunno what the right solution is. My two-cents is either to punt and
only include an uninstall function as currently proposed, or for only
supporting some form of the "python setup.py uninstall" style....
But for us poor schlubs, we want you brilliant packagers to actually
come to a hard decision. If you want approval either admit you have no
solution in the PEP (and detail the issues that prevent a decision),
provide a minimally acceptable command, or expect that nobody sees the
value of what you propose....
