Win7. Why Don't Matplotlib, ... Show up in Control Panel Add-Remove?
in [Python]

From: W. eWatson on 8 Aug 2010 12:16 See Subject. I use matplotlib, scipy, numpy and possibly one other module. If I go to the control panel, I only see numpy listed. Why? I use a search and find only numpy and Python itself. How can matplotlib and scipy be uninstalled?

I'm not sure what the answer to the OP's problem is. If you no longer wish to use these modules I suggest doing nothing. No harm will result. If you want to upgrade just install the new version. If that doesn't work, file a bug report.

Since this is specifically a matplotlib and scipy question, the most relevant forums would be the matplotlib and scipy mailing lists. The maintainers of those projects are probably on those lists, and they'll be able to answer this question better than we can since they know what the installers do in the first place. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/matplotlib-users http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/scipy-user

Distutils and Setuptools (and it's new fork, Distribute) are inadequate- they act as installers, but don't provide a way to uninstall the program. There are attempts to fix this, such as pip and Activestate's PyPM, but they aren't used as widely as the older methods. > To suggest Google as above, makes no sense to me.

I would have thought that people who hang around dedicated forums for matplotlib and scipy would probably have more knowledge about the workings of the matplotlib and scipy installers than generic Python programmers, most of whom have never touched or used matplotlib or scipy. > I'm not sure what the answer to the OP's problem is. Oh the irony. -- Steven
