Description

@PythonCHB

If setup.py (or pip install) is run, and then the setup.py file is changed, pip can't clean up an old install. And if some of the cruft left behind (like a mailroom.py script in the Scripts folder. it can wreak havoc.

We need to write up some "how to clean things up" notes:

  • Finding site-packages and hand deleting things
  • Finding the Scripts dir and cleaning it out.
