when I pip-installed django-debug-toolbar, the latest version of Django was installed automatically.

Hello,

when I pip-installed django-debug-toolbar, the latest version of Django was installed automatically. Not my intention. I got warning as below.

    ========

    WARNING!

    ========

    You have just installed Django over top of an existing

    installation, without removing it first. Because of this,

    your install may now include extraneous files from a

    previous version that have since been removed from

    Django. This is known to cause a variety of problems. You

    should manually remove the

    /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django

    directory and re-install Django.

but never asked if it is OK to do so. So, I tried to uninstall it and reinstall it. Wehn I do

rm -rf django

pip install django==1.3

somehow, it says,

Requested django==1.3, but installing version 1.6.2

Installing collected packages: django

  Running setup.py install for django

Again version 1.6 was installed. Does anyone know the solution to it. Please.

Hi,

pip install --no-deps django-debug-toolbar
might help. --no-deps = no dependencies

I highly recommend you pip freeze
your current environement and then just do a pip install --no-deps
new_component_name,
thisway you know what is in your environment and no component can seek
stuff in...

hope this helps
Frank

Hi Frank,

Thank you for your advice but the version is still 1.6. I straggle with getting it back to the version 1.3.

pip install --no-deps django-debug-toolbar 

may help when the version become 1.6, right?

by the way, I tried

pip install --no-deps django==1.3

did not help

Hi Jun,
to get your old django back
1) pip uninstall django
2) pip install django==1.3
3) pip uninstall django-debug-toolbar
4) pip install --no-deps django-debug-toolbar

line 1 - remove existing django whatever version
line 2 - install django 1.3
line 3 - remove the django toolbar
line 4 says: install django-debug-toolbar but ignore all dependencies of this package.

This should cleanup your environment
Cheers
Frank

hi Frank,

I appreciate it but seem that this situation is so unusual  that people do not understand. 

I have done those already.

So I do 

1) pip uninstall django
3) pip uninstall django-debug-toolbar

2) pip install django==1.3

then it says:

Downloading/unpacking django==1.3

  Running setup.py egg_info for package django

    warning: no previously-included files matching '__pycache__' found under directory '*'

    warning: no previously-included files matching '*.py[co]' found under directory '*'

  Requested django==1.3, but installing version 1.6.2

Installing collected packages: django

  Running setup.py install for django

then the version 1.6 is installed. Any solution?

What version of Python are you running? Django 1.3 runs with Python 2.4. I'm not sure, but maybe a higher version of Python is triggering a higher version dependency of Django.

If you want to install Django 1.3, you should probably do it in a virtualenv, after installing Python 2.4.

Depending on how old your pip version is, you may need to clean up things in your /tmp.

I have faced similar issues with old pip versions. It happened when an installation failed and left temporary package files in /tmp. Whatever the version you’ll want to install, it’ll take the one on the /tmp and will not remove it by itself.

The correct workaround is to clean /tmp and try a new installation.
