Remove numpy installed using pip on OS X

Question

I have two versions of numpy installed on my OS X. One is version 1.2.1 installed via pip, the other is the version 1.6.1 installed via easy_install.

Now, I would like to remove the older version using pip uninstall command. But would that affect the newer version installed by easy_install? If so, how should I perserve the newer version while removing the older one?

Answer 1

pip and easy_install use different methods to keep track of modules they install. Therefore, running pip uninstall numpy shouldn't affect your newer version installed through easy_install.

Of course, this is assuming that they aren't installed in the same directories (although I don't see why or how they could be).
