-1. Where does the setup.py file come from? If I have docutils
installed, and want to remove it, must I download the source again so
that I can get the setup.py, so I can run the uninstall? This is daft
- particularly given that the point of PEP 376 is to ensure that all
of the required information is available from the installed package!
As I suggested before:
python -m distutils.uninstall packagename
Calling it a "reference implementation" should not imply that it's not
built to be usable and complete. If it's there,m people should be able
to use it.
