I am trying to uninstall Numpy via Pip but this error comes up:
$ pip uninstall numpy
Uninstalling numpy:
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Extras/lib/python/numpy-1.6.2-py2.7.egg-info
Proceed (y/n)? y

No clue what the best way to proceed from here would be. I would like to uninstall numpy completely then reinstall.
