Package: python-pip Version: 0.6.1-1 Severity: normal
Hi there, Running 'pip uninstall' on a python package installed with 'pip install', when not running in a virtualenv, fails. Pip expects the egg-info directory to be in a different place than where debian's setuptools placed it. It's thus unable to find it and retrieve the 'installed-files.txt' file. For example, using a random python package 'django-ajax-validation' m...@110psi:~$ sudo pip freeze | grep django-ajax-validation m...@110psi:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/ | grep ajax m...@110psi:~$ sudo pip install django-ajax-validation Downloading/unpacking django-ajax-validation Downloading django-ajax-validation-0.1.3.tar.gz Running setup.py egg_info for package django-ajax-validation zip_safe flag not set; analyzing archive contents...

On uninstall, pip computes the egg-info directory name as "%name-%version-py%python-version.egg-info". This is done on line #'s 1996-1997 on pip.py using: 1996 pip_egg_info_path = os.path.join(dist.location, 1997 dist.egg_name()) + '.egg-info' dist.egg_name() is a call to Requirement.egg_name() from pkg-resources, and returns an string formatted as "%name-%version-py%python-version" thanks! -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages python-pip depends on: ii python 2.5.4-4 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-pkg-resources 0.6.8-1 Package Discovery and Resource Acc ii python-setuptools 0.6.8-1 Python Distutils Enhancements (set ii python-support 1.0.6 automated rebuilding support for P python-pip recommends no packages. python-pip suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
