Something strange with yolk and import.

[vskubriev]

In [1]: from yolk import yolklib

In [2]: list(yolklib.get_distributions('all', 'numpy'))
Out[2]: 
[(numpy 1.11.2 (/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages), False),
 (numpy 1.12.0 (/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages), True),
 (numpy 1.12.1 (/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages), False),
 (numpy 1.8.2 (/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages), False)]

In [3]: import numpy

In [4]: numpy.__version__
Out[4]: '1.12.1'

As you can see yolk gets 1.12.0 as active version instead of import, which is load 1.12.1

Why this happens ?

[vskubriev]

The same or similar problem with six:

In [1]: import six

In [2]: six.__version__
Out[2]: '1.10.0'

root@machine:/home/user# yolk -l six
six             - 1.10.0       - non-active development (/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages)
six             - 1.5.2        - non-active 
six             - 1.9.0        - active development (/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages)

yolk reports active version is 1.9.0, but actually active is 1.10.0

[vskubriev]

Is there a way to automatically remove packages like six 1.9.0 in my case ?

root@machine:/home/user# yolk -l six
six             - 1.10.0       - non-active development (/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages)
six             - 1.5.2        - non-active 
six             - 1.9.0        - active development (/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages)
root@machine:/home/user# python -c 'import six; print six.__version__'
1.10.0

The system has only its metadata:

root@machine:/home/use# ll /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/six-1.9.0.dist-info/
