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

Question

While working on a Pylons app, I accidentally typed

python setup.py install

in the home directory of a project, instead of what I meant to type, namely

python setup.py egg_info

Oops. It looks like the Pylons app has now been installed as a Python package. Whenever I make changes to the project, they don't get propagated unless I re-run install, which is annoying.

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

delete the related content from the dist-packages/site-packages and .egg info files manually
