How to remove a module using Anaconda in Python

Solution 1

You can remove packages installed with pip using pip uninstall.

Solution 2

Did you install Prody via pip? Then I don't think that conda remove can remove it. AFAIK, conda manages only conda packages.

    I have a package called 'Prody' which is installed under anaconda directories:

    $ python 
    Python 2.7.8 |Anaconda 2.0.1 (x86_64)| (default, Jul  2 2014, 15:36:00) 
    [GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5577)] on darwin
    Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
    Anaconda is brought to you by Continuum Analytics.
    Please check out: http://continuum.io/thanks and https://binstar.org
    >>> import prody
    >>> prody.__file__
    '//anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ProDy-1.5.1-py2.7-macosx-10.5-x86_64.egg/prody/__init__.pyc'
    

    I'd like to remove that file with this command but failed:

    $ conda remove prody
    Error: no packages found to remove from environment: //anaconda
    

    What's the right way to do it?
