Will this also return the directories /created/ during the installation?
For example, will it also contain the entry "docutils" .. along with
"docutils/__init__.py"?
I don't think it's necessary to add "docutils" if
"docutils/__init__.py" is present
But for empty directories added during installation we should add the I
guess.
So, I'll add a note.
It seems that you overlooked the below paragraph.
If not, how is the installer (pip, pypm, etc..) supposed to know which
directories to remove (docutils/) and which directories not to remove
(site-packages/, bin/, etc..)?
Quoting from the PEP:
[quote]'(...)uninstall uses the APIs described earlier and remove all
unique files, as long as their hash didn't change. Then it removes empty
directories left behind.'[endquote]
Let's assume that site-packages/ contained only one package 'Foo'. Will
uninstall('Foo') remove the site-packages/ directory just because it
turned out to be empty after removing 'Foo'? To explain, let's assume the
RECORD of 'Foo' contains:
$ cat RECORD
Foo/__init__.py
Foo/bar/__init__.py
Foo/bar/test.py
and according to what you wrote in the PEP ("it removes empty directories
left behind"):
$ python -m distutils.util.uninstall Foo
rm /.../site-packages/Foo/__init__.py
rm /.../site-packages/Foo/bar/__init__.py
rm /.../site-packages/Foo/bar/test.py
rm empty dir /.../site-packages/Foo/bar
rm empty dir /.../site-packages/Foo/
rm empty dir /.../site-packages/ # !!!!!
it also remove the site-packages directory!
Then there is ~/python26/bin, ~/python26/include, ~/python26/etc, etc.. Do
you see my point?
btw: is PyPM a public project ?
If by 'public', you meant open source, then no.
