title: Dowgrading / uninstalling numpy on Ubuntu 12.10
body: <p>I have Numpy version 1.8 installed on my Ubuntu, but I need version 1.7. I didn't manage to find any way to downgrade from 1.8 to 1.7, so I decided to simply uninstall Numpy and install the older version.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is, Numpy seems to be immune to my attempts at uninstalling it. I've uninstalled it in Synaptic, and also tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo apt-get remove python-numpy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo pip uninstall numpy
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I'm still able to import Numpy in Python succesfully. How do I downgrade or get rid of it?</p>
