Uninstall for clean install

[thomasgr...@gmail.com]

I need to uninstall django (on ubuntu) so as to do a clean installation.  Anybody have a procedure for removing django cleanly?

Thanks

How did you install it? Did you do it through apt-get or did you install it through a downloaded tar.gz package from the Django website?

To answer my own question, if you did it through the package manager try

sudo apt-get purge python-django on the command line

if from tar.gz package, on the command line  change directory to /usr/local/lib/python(your version)/dist-packages/ and delete django files there using sudo rm django -rf and th Django egg info.

That's how it's done on Ubuntu 12.04

Thomas, If you've ever wanted to know why vitualenv is a good idea -
here's a great reason. Since it compartmentalises everything -
packages the whole deal, you can just create a new virtualenv and
start developing.
