title: Reset easy_install after uninstalling Python on OS X
body: <p>I had 64-bit Python at first, then I installed BeautifulSoup using <code>easy_install</code>.</p>
  
  <p>For some reason, I uninstalled 64-bit Python using <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/q/3819449/366309">this method</a>. Then I reinstalled the 32-bit version from Python.org. However:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Kit:~ Kit$ easy_install beautifulsoup
  Searching for beautifulsoup
  Best match: BeautifulSoup 3.2.0
  Processing BeautifulSoup-3.2.0-py2.6.egg
  BeautifulSoup 3.2.0 is already the active version in easy-install.pth
  
  Using /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/BeautifulSoup-3.2.0-py2.6.egg
  Processing dependencies for beautifulsoup
  Finished processing dependencies for beautifulsoup
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is a nasty sign that I haven't really found an easy way to <strong>cleanly</strong> uninstall Python on OS X. Besides, it mentions BeautifulSoup for Python <strong>2.6</strong>, but I have <strong>2.7</strong>. Sad <code>:(</code></p>
  
  <p>How do I reset <code>easy-install.pth</code>? I couldn't find it on Spotlight.</p>
