Additions are marked like this.
If you want to delete the currently installed version of a package (or all
versions of a package), you should first run::
easy_install -m PackageName
easy_install -mxN PackageName
This will ensure that Python doesn't continue to search for a package you're

Release Notes/Change History
============================
0.6final
0.6c11
* Fix installed script .exe files not working with 64-bit Python on Windows
(wasn't actually released in 0.6c10 due to a lost checkin)
0.6c10
* Fix easy_install.exe giving UAC errors on Windows Vista
* Support for the most recent Sourceforge download link insanity
* Stop crashing on certain types of HTTP error
* Stop re-trying URLs that already failed retrieval once
* Fixes for various dependency management problems such as looping builds,
re-downloading packages already present on sys.path (but not in a registered
"site" directory), and semi-randomly preferring local "-f" packages over
local installed packages
0.6c9
* Fixed ``win32.exe`` support for .pth files, so unnecessary directory nesting
is flattened out in the resulting egg. (There was a case-sensitivity
problem that affected some distributions, notably ``pywin32``.)
