There ought to be a way to uninstall, if for no other reason that it is polite behavior in a civilized society :) The usual way to uninstall something from a "package" seems to be to keep a list of all installed files somewhere. Doing the equivalent of a "find . -print" at the right point during "bdist/build" should do the trick, or maybe a command of its own, the filelist to be stored in the sdist-result? Such a list of files would also be useful for packagers, be it maintainers of .rpm, .deb or *BSD ports. |

Logged In: YES user_id=21627 Moving to RFE tracker. Notice that binary packages (created by bdist_rpm or bdist_wininst) do support uninstall. |

Maintainers of RPM, deb or ports have already a way to detect files. distutils doesn't aim to be a full package manager. It's a tool to make the installation of Python software easier. Please work the the distutils team and create an uninstaller if you *really* want an uninstall feature. |
