You are kidding right? So in other words, if I do:

    easy_install mercurial

instead of just typing:

    easy_uninstall mercurial

I have to type:

    "rm -rf 
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mercurial-0.9.1-py2.5-macosx-10.3-fat.egg/"

How is an ordinary user supposed to know how to do this?

Worse yet:

   easy_install turbogears

Now in order to install that, I need to rm 15-20 separate packages. How 
is a user supposed to know how to do this?
