You can't expect people to keep the distribution they used to install in a corner of their hard drive, to make sure they will be able to uninstall it (or to ask them to download it again) That's all about the RECORD files and the asymetric uninstall script described in PEP 376. having an uninstall command on the top of the uninstall script is a nice shortcut though. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
