Uninstall before switching to svn?

[Hull, Dave]

I'm looking to install from the Subversion repository. I'm currently running 0.95 but would like to try the newforms stuff out. How do I uninstall the old version before switching to the new version?

Sorry if this is obvious or documented elsewhere. I've searched the Documentation and grepped through the svn and 0.95 tar files but matched nothing.

I realize the stuff in the svn repo may not be considered "stable" or 1.0, but is it good enough for non-critical use?

Please advise and thanks.

You should be able to remove the 0.95 directory from your python path,
(perhaps my deleting the 0.95 egg, if you used that, then check out
trunk to somewhere under your ~/home, then symlink
site-packages/django to ../trunk/django.

It's come up on IRC a bit. Perhaps since there's a largish gap
between 0.95 and trunk, a FAQ is in order explaining how to get from a
tar dist to a svn checkout....

newforms isn't totally worked out, but lots of people use trunk for
production stuff.
