They contain important meta information (e.g. version number, dependencies, overview information, ...) about a distribution not directly used by Python. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

A so called "distribution" can install packages of a different name (for example, the distribution "Zope" installs (among others) a package "ZPublisher"). In addition, the actual installation typically has lost metadata information (e.g. the version number). Therefore, "pip" may use "*.dist-info" or "*.egg-info" directories to provide this metadata. Look into those directories to find out which packages are installed for the corresponding distribution. You can then check whether those packages are truely available (and if not delete the *-info* directory). Thanks for this info. After deleting the f:\programfiler\python36\lib\site-packages\~ip-19.1.1.dist-info directory and running my script again, the "-ip" is gone. All this *.dist-info stuff is alien stuff to me, but I guess 'pip install --upgrade' uses these? BTW, there is no command 'pip uninstall --orphans'. Any other tool that does the same? -- --gv -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
