So this is a weird one... I admit, I install my own module with a wild mix of
but I cannot identify the source of a remaining ability to import my module (planet4) after having used 'pip uninstall' and manually removed any remaining eggs or egg-links, or even entries in *.pth files.
I tried the obvious: planet4.__file__ but that's empty:
In [12]: planet4.__file__
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-12-09c196cdfffe> in <module>()
----> 1 planet4.__file__
AttributeError: module 'planet4' has no attribute '__file__'
Python still thinks this is a module:
In [16]: type(planet4)
Out[16]: module
and when I try to use pkg_resources to get to some hidden file paths I get the weirdest error that even Google only has seen a couple of times, at least related to removing a package:
In [10]: import pkg_resources as pr
In [11]: pr.resource_exists('planet4', 'data')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NotImplementedError Traceback (most recent call last)

Anybody has anymore ideas what I could try?
Open a python prompt
import sys
for p in sys.path:
print p
That will give you a list of directories. Go look in all of them for a directory or file with the name planet4. Also look for any .pth files. If you find any, open them in a text editor, they will give you more directories to look in, rinse and repeat.
