Why pip? pip uninstall psycopg2 or pip install --upgrade psycopg2 But I guess with easy_install you can fake it by running with -m and then deleting the errant egg files in lib and bin files. That's pretty easy, I guess. Oh but hey, you know what you can do instead? Setup a virtualenv, easy_install everything and when it gets hopelessly out of date or munged, you can just delete the virtualenv directory and start again. Snark aside, I would agree with the OP that the "feature" of installing via arbitrary URLs is an anti-pattern and encourages lazy development. Of course, not every package we build can be posted to a public package library, so there's always that issue with easy_install too. Sigh, what a mess we have. Good thing I'm still able to get work done with these tools :)
