I accidentally did a system-wide install of flask and sqlalchemy. I "sudo pip install"ed both of them, and now I'm wondering how i can uninstall both of those off my system. I already have virtualenv all set up, so I don't want flask or sqlalchemy attached to my system. I read that having it directly installed can cause problems when working with different frameworks and different versions of a framework.
Is it a problem that I did a system-wide install of these packages?

Open a terminal window. To uninstall, or remove, a package use the command '$PIP uninstall <package-name>'. This example will remove the flask package.
Flask-SQLAlchemy is an extension for Flask that adds support for SQLAlchemy to your application. It aims to simplify using SQLAlchemy with Flask by providing useful defaults and extra helpers that make it easier to accomplish common tasks.
By default, pip installs packages located in the Python Package Index (PyPI), but can also install from other indexes.
sudo pip uninstall flask should do the trick. And yes, having it installed globally can cause issues if you're working with different versions of other packages.
