12:16 < jhammel> slinkp: to give you more of an idea what i want to do with easy_uninstall, i'd like it to be included with distribute and/or virtualenv, if we/I can convince 
                 tarek and/or ianbicking of its necessity
12:48 < ianbicking> jhammel: pip has an uninstall feature coming up
12:48 < ianbicking> (it's in a bitbucket fork)

12:58 < slinkp> sonali: where is tenzochris anyway? on vacation today?
12:58 < slinkp> ianbicking: oh, that's cool
12:59 < slinkp> ianbicking: does it only uninstall things installed via pip, or can it handle packages installed via easy_install or setup.py install?
12:59 < ianbicking> slinkp: only via pip, because at this point only pip records where files are installed
12:59 < ianbicking> I think distribute will record install locations at some point, though
13:00 < sonali> slinkp: his wife is sick in hospital
13:00 < sonali> he had to step out on an emergency
13:00 < slinkp> sonali: !!! oh no!
13:00 < jhammel> ianbicking: do you think if distribute gains enough traction that pip will become unecessary and/or will merge with distribute?
13:00 < sonali> apparently heart problem
13:00 < sonali> last night
13:00 < jhammel> i'm waiting for either to get traction atm
13:01 < ianbicking> jhammel: I don't know exactly what distribute will do, but it seems unlikely to me that it will make pip unnecessary
13:01 < jhammel> heh, maybe i don't know what pip does
13:01 < ianbicking> jhammel: in that if they port easy_install it'll still kind of suck, and if they rewrite it they'll just be needlessly doing what pip did
13:02 < jhammel> ianbicking: that's why i was asking about merging
13:02 < ianbicking> jhammel: I think we're all just wait-and-see at the moment, on both ends.
13:02 < ianbicking> merging at this moment would be premature.
13:03 < jhammel> ianbicking: heh, hence why i prefaced with "gains enough traction"
13:03 < ianbicking> jhammel: technically it's a bit premature, though there are some things virtualenv/pip could do to push things forward
