On Windows 7, I install pip with easy_install and want to install a lower version of pip. I want to remove the old version, but have no idea how to completely remove the pip installed by easy_install (or if there is a way to do it without going through easy_install, that is fine). How do I do this?
There is no completely automatic uninstall but you can do it in two steps:
easy_install -m pip
This should remove pip from easy-install.pth and print the full path to where pip is installed. Now just manually remove the path that the previous command printed. Or you could just manually edit easy-install.pth and remove the pip sources if you know where they are located.
