How to remove packages - wxPython

Linux kernel 2.6.9
Slackware 10
Python version 2.3.4
wxPython version 2.4.2.4

I compiled and installed wxPython.

There is no uninstall script that I can find for the py components. The
library component has a make uninstall.

What is the proper way to uninstall packages? I searched everywhere, but
there seems to be no clearcut explanation.

Can I just remove the site-package directories it created? Or is there a
central config file for python?

Thx.

Generally speaking, just removing the subfolder(s) from site-packages
will completely remove an extension. Some few extensions will also
create a .pth file in the site-packages folder, so check for that
as well. No doubt there are exceptions, but I believe this will
cover 95% of the cases.

That's what I thought. Just wanted to be sure. I think this program actually
created two separate site-packages folder, wxPython and wx. I need to check
the install script and see what was doing.

Thx

Hi all, We've been having a discussion over on the wxPython-users mailing list about how to deal with multiple versions of wxPython. During the discussion it came up that this isn't a problem faced only by wxPython, but would have to be dealt with by virtually all packages. The root of the problem is what to do when you install a new version of wxPython, and want to be able to keep using the old one. This question comes up frequently...

Hello wxPythoneers. I have a problem with a dialog box derived from wxFrame which has a wxComboBox as main element. Depending on the entry selected from the ComboBox, the dialog box will be populated with a number of controls.

This is because the event function for the combobox populates the sizer for the window with...

The only reason wxPython isn't the standard Python GUI toolkit is that Tkinter was there first." - Guido van Rossum Guess, that answers my question, but isn't "Tkinter was there first" a very bad answer? :) It is kinda ugly too, so I wonder why it can't be replaced? Or maybe another GUI...

I'm trying to install wxPython 2.5.3.1 using Python 2.3.2 on a Fedora 2 machine.

At the moment I'm doing most of my stuff on a Mac, but I've been considering also getting a Windows laptop. One of the reasons is that I've found it very difficult to get certain Python related things running on the Mac; for example, if one wants to use the most up-to-date Python on the mac, rather than the one installed by Apple, things can get a bit hairy, and then if one wants to go PyQT/wxPy/etc, it can get even worse with

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.
