Did you use ‘sudo pip install …’ or just pip as your regular user? Because if you just used your regular user, it’s most likely sitting in a directory in ~/.local/lib/python3.* and you can just delete everything in there and not affect the OS packages. If you used sudo, most likely it’s all in /usr/local/lib/python3.* and /usr/local/share/python3.* but it might be worth running ‘rpm -Va python*’ and reinstall any packages that fail checksum verification. If you want to play with pip I really suggest leaning to love Python virtual environments (the venv module) since they are really good for containing everything in a directory. If you must use sudo pip, check out podman container toolbox to keep it from breaking your OS. Container toolboxes might not work with your IDE though, I tend to use emacs so I’ve never had a problem. -- Jonathan Billings _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
