Pylons: accidentally typed "setup.py install", how can I fix it?

Question

While working on the Pylons application, I accidentally typed

python setup.py install

in the project home directory instead of what I wanted to print, namely

python setup.py egg_info

Unfortunately. It looks like the Pylons application is now installed as a Python package. Whenever I make changes to a project, they are not propagated unless I restarted install, which is annoying.

How can i fix this?

Answer 1

manually remove related content from dist-packages / site-packages and .egg files manually
