Use the ``--uninstall`` or ``-u`` option to ``develop``, i.e:

    python setup.py develop --uninstall

This will remove it from easy-install.pth and delete the .egg-link.  The only thing it doesn&#39;t do is delete scripts (yet).

Edit easy-install.pth in your site-packages directory and remove the line that points to your development version of that package.

I have had a similar problem to this before. What I did was I loaded up the Python shell, imported the module and then printed its `__file__` attribute. From there I would just remove the folder or file that was being associated.

What you may want to look into is using [virtualenv][1] this system allows you to create a instance of python separate from your system. Any modules you install or use in this instance are self contained including the version of the module. 

I keep all my projects now inside of there own contained virtualenv, which allows me to install and use whatever modules I want without worrying about screwing up modules from other projects.

In my Java application, I was able to get the `Color` of a `JButton` in terms of red, green and blue; I have stored these values in three `int`s.

How do I convert those RGB values into a `String` containing the equivalent hexadecimal representation? Such as `#0033fA`

Here&#39;s my stripped-down setup.py script with non-code stuff removed:


    #!/usr/bin/env python
    
    from distutils.core import setup
    from whyteboard.misc import meta
    
    
    setup(
        name = &#39;Whyteboard&#39;,
        version = meta.version,

        packages = [&#39;whyteboard&#39;, &#39;whyteboard.gui&#39;, &#39;whyteboard.lib&#39;, &#39;whyteboard.lib.pubsub&#39;,
                    &#39;whyteboard.lib.pubsub.core&#39;, &#39;whyteboard.lib.pubsub.utils&#39;, &#39;whyteboard.misc&#39;],
    
        py_modules = [&#39;whyteboard&#39;],
        scripts = [&#39;whyteboard.py&#39;],
    )





MANIFEST.in:

    include *.txt
    include whyteboard-help/*.*
    recursive-include locale *.mo
    recursive-include images *.png


When I run &quot;python setup.py install sdist&quot; I get a nice .tar.gz with a &quot;whyteboard-0.41&quot; root folder, with my locale/ images/ and whyteboard-help/ folders inside. This also has my whyteboard.py script that launches my program from inside the whyteboard source package.

So:

    whyteboard/
     ├── locale/
     ├── images
     ├── whyteboard-help/
     ├── whyteboard/
     │  ├── __init__.py
     │  └── other packages etc
     ├── whyteboard.py
     ├── README
     ├── setup.py
     └── CHANGELOG

This mirrors the source of my program, is how everything should be, and is correct.


However when I run &quot;python setup.py install&quot; none of my data files are written - only the &quot;whyteboard&quot; source package, and the whyteboard.py is placed in /usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/.

Ideally, I&#39;d like the same directory structure as what&#39;s been generated in the .tar.gz file to be created in dist-packages, as this is how my program expects to look for its resources. 

How can I get &quot;install&quot; to create this directory structure? It seems to be ignoring my manifest file, as far as I can tell.

Hi I was trying the python packaging using setuptools and to test I installed the module in develop mode.
i.e

    python setup.py develop

This has added my modules directory to sys.path. Now I want to remove the module is there any way to do this?

Thanks in advance

I have a Python application which needs quite a few (~30) configuration parameters. Up to now, I used the OptionParser class to define default values in the app itself, with the possibility to change individual parameters at the command line when invoking the application.

Now I would like to use &#39;proper&#39; configuration files, for example from the ConfigParser class. At the same time, users should still be able to change individual parameters at the command line.

I was wondering if there is any way to combine the two steps, e.g. use optparse (or the newer argparse) to handle command line options, but reading the default values from a config file in ConfigParse syntax.

Any ideas how to do this in an easy way? I don&#39;t really fancy manually invoking ConfigParse, and then manually setting all defaults of all the options to the appropriate values...


Which is the best way to allow configuration options be overridden at the command line in Python?

I&#39;m not asking about Python&#39;s scoping rules; I understand generally *how* scoping works in Python for loops. My question is *why* the design decisions were made in this way. For example (no pun intended):

    for foo in xrange(10):
        bar = 2
    print(foo, bar)

The above will print (9,2). 

This strikes me as weird: &#39;foo&#39; is really just controlling the loop, and &#39;bar&#39; was defined inside the loop. I can understand why it might be necessary for &#39;bar&#39; to be accessible outside the loop (otherwise, for loops would have very limited functionality). What I don&#39;t understand is why it is necessary for the control variable to remain in scope after the loop exits. In my experience, it simply clutters the global namespace and makes it harder to track down errors that would be caught by interpreters in other languages.

Why do I get an error of &quot;can&#39;t multiply sequence by non-int of type &#39;float&#39;&quot;? from the following code:


    def nestEgVariable(salary, save, growthRates):
        SavingsRecord = []
        fund = 0
        depositPerYear = salary * save * 0.01
        for i in growthRates:  
            fund = fund * (1 + 0.01 * growthRates) + depositPerYear
            SavingsRecord += [fund,]
        return SavingsRecord 
    
    
    print nestEgVariable(10000,10,[3,4,5,0,3])

I&#39;m using PyQt and am running into this issue.  If my import statements are:

    from PyQt4.QtCore import *
    from PyQt4.QtGui import *

then pylint gives hundreds of &quot;Unused import&quot; warnings.  I&#39;m hesitant to just turn them off, because there might be other unused imports that are actually useful to see.  Another option would be to do this:

    from PyQt4.QtCore import Qt, QPointF, QRectF
    from PyQt4.QtGui import QGraphicsItem, QGraphicsScene, ...

and I end up having 9 classes on the QtGui line.  There&#39;s a third option, which is:

    from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui

and then prefix all the classes with QtCore or QtGui whenever I use them.

At this point I&#39;m agnostic as to which one I end up doing in my project, although the last one seems the most painful from my perspective.  What are the common practices here?  Are there technical reason to use one style over the other?

Should wildcard import be avoided?

I&#39;m running Python 2.7 on Windows 7 64-bit, and when I run the installer for setuptools it tells me that Python 2.7 is not installed.  The specific error message is:

    `Python Version 2.7 required which was not found in the registry`

My installed version of Python is:

    `Python 2.7 (r27:82525, Jul  4 2010, 07:43:08) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32`

I&#39;m looking at the setuptools site and it doesn&#39;t mention any installers for 64-bit Windows.  Have I missed something or do I have to install this from source?

Installing SetupTools on 64-bit Windows

When I run

      python setup.py sdist

it creates an sdist in my ./dist directory. This includes a &quot;PROJECT-egg.info&quot; file in the zip inside my &quot;dist&quot; folder, which I don&#39;t use, but it doesn&#39;t hurt me, so I just ignore it.

My question is why does it *also* create a &quot;PROJECT-egg.info&quot; folder in my project root directory? Can I make it stop creating this? If not, can I just delete it immediately after creating the sdist?

I&#39;m using the &#39;setup&#39; function imported from setuptools.

## Short Question ##

* What is the proper way to install [`pip`][pip], [`virtualenv`][virtualenv], and [`distribute`][distribute]?

## Background ##

In [my answer][so-answer] to [SO question 4314376][so-question], I recommended using `ez_setup` so that you could then install `pip` and `virtualenv` as follows:

    curl -O http://peak.telecommunity.com/dist/ez_setup.py
    sudo python ez_setup.py
    sudo easy_install pip
    sudo pip install virtualenv

I originally pulled these instructions from Jesse Noller&#39;s blog post [So you want to use Python on the Mac?][noller]. I like the idea of keeping a clean global site-packages directory, so the only other packages I install there are  [`virtualenvwrapper`][virtualenvwrapper] and [`distribute`][distribute]. (I recently added [`distribute`][distribute] to my toolbox because of [this Python public service announcement][public]. To install these two packages, I used:

    sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper
    curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
    sudo python distribute_setup.py

## No more setuptools and easy_install ##

To really follow [that Python public service announcement][public], on a fresh Python install, I would do the following:

    curl -O http://python-distribute.org/distribute_setup.py
    sudo python distribute_setup.py
    sudo easy_install pip
    sudo pip install virtualenv
    sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

## Glyph&#39;s Rebuke ##

In a comment to [my answer][so-answer] to [SO question 4314376][so-question], SO user [Glyph][] stated:

&gt; NO. NEVER EVER do `sudo python setup.py install` whatever. Write a ~/.pydistutils.cfg that puts your pip installation into ~/.local or something. Especially files named `ez_setup.py` tend to suck down newer versions of things like setuptools and easy_install, which can potentially break other things on your operating system.

## Back to the short question ##

So [Glyph&#39;s response][so-answer] leads me to my original question:

* What is the proper way to install [`pip`][pip], [`virtualenv`][virtualenv], and [`distribute`][distribute]?

What&#39;s the proper way to install pip, virtualenv, and distribute for Python?

I use setuptools to distribute my python package. Now I need to distribute additional datafiles.

From what I&#39;ve gathered fromt the setuptools documentation, I need to have my data files inside the package directory. However, I would rather have my datafiles inside a subdirectory in the root directory.

What I would like to avoid:

    / #root
    |- src/
    |  |- mypackage/
    |  |  |- data/
    |  |  |  |- resource1
    |  |  |  |- [...]
    |  |  |- __init__.py
    |  |  |- [...]
    |- setup.py

What I would like to have instead:

    / #root
    |- data/
    |  |- resource1
    |  |- [...]
    |- src/
    |  |- mypackage/
    |  |  |- __init__.py
    |  |  |- [...]
    |- setup.py


I just don&#39;t feel comfortable with having so many subdirectories, if it&#39;s not essential. I fail to find a reason, why I /have/ to put the files inside the package directory. It is also cumbersome to work with so many nested subdirectories IMHO. Or is there any good reason that would justify this restriction?

setuptools: package data folder location

Is it this, which people seem to recommend most often:

    $ sudo apt-get install python-setuptools
    $ sudo easy_install pip
    $ sudo pip install virtualenv

Or this, which I got from http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html:

    $ curl -O https://github.com/pypa/virtualenv/raw/master/virtualenv.py
    $ python virtualenv.py my_new_env
    $ . my_new_env/bin/activate
    (my_new_env)$ pip install ...

Or something entirely different?
