如何卸载我使用easy_install安装的Python模块（“egg”）？

Question

I've installed a couple of Python modules using easy_install . How do I uninstall them?

I couldn't see an uninstall option listed in easy_install --help .

Answer 1

Ah, here we go:

$ easy_install -m PackageName

$ rm EggFile

I'm not exactly clear what the -m option does, but this method seems to work for me (ie after doing it, I can no longer import the modules in my Python interpreter).

Answer 2

easy_install did work for me.

I also was able to test that easy_install -m short name worked. For example:

easy_install -m mesos # ( short for mesos-0.16.0-py2.6-linux-x86_64.egg)

pip uninstall mesos also ending up working with short name.
